In a Nutshell...

In the steep hills overlooking the Castro district is a small nature museum for little kids called the Randall Museum. While there are classes for older kids, such as ceramics and woodworking, most of the drop-in activities are for preschoolers, such as the petting pen, stocked with chickens, rabbits and a duck. The museum serves as a wildlife recovery center with cages of injured birds. To also help promote respect for the natural world, it has aquariums and terrariums with reptiles and amphibians, as well as a glass sided beehive. Their facilities include a theater and excellent ceramics and woodworking studios.
