First Friday Nights

  • CuriOdyssey 1651 Coyote Point Drive San Mateo, CA, 94401 United States (map)

Come together as a family, visit early, and stay late!

Swing into the weekend with science, animals, music, food trucks, and fun! On the first Friday of every month, from 5 PM until 8 PM, parents and kids celebrate together at CuriOdyssey.

Dance to some of your favorite hits, while enjoying animal presentations and science activities. Activities and programs are different each time, so make it a monthly tradition!

Kick off Earth Month with an evening of discovery at CuriOdyssey. Our April First Friday Night celebrates the wonder of the natural world and continues four Spring Into Nature festivities leading up to Earth Week.

  • Meet our ambassador animals during Animals in Action, where you’ll get an up-close look at some of the remarkable species that call CuriOdyssey home.

  • Catch Science in Action as our educators bring conservation science to life with live demonstrations and surprising experiments that reveal how scientists study and care for our planet.

  • Gather for Interactive Storytime, where storytelling and science come together to spark curiosity about the animals and ecosystems we share our world with.

  • Young explorers can also create their own leaf rubbings, discovering the hidden patterns and textures of nature.

First Friday Nights is a great time to check out some of our local food vendors and, enjoy live music from Love Machine, explore the museum after hours, and discover ways to connect with nature throughout the month.

Join us as we celebrate Earth Month and get ready for a week of hands-on exploration during Earth Week at CuriOdyssey (April 16–22).
