I guess living in San Diego for many years you get spoiled with a world class zoo but with a large metropolitan city like LA you d figured that they d have a better facility (the Columbus Ohio zoo is better and it s a much smaller city).
Pretty easy walking. The uphill portions aren t extreme but are enough to give you some good exercise. The map is useful and signage is plenty. There are lots of dining options and the prices aren t crazy high (pretty reasonable as compared to out in town).
The sight lines for small kids aren t good (mine are 5 and tall and often had difficulties seeing over fences). The children s play park was a nice place to take a break while the kiddos have fun.
Overall everything could use some updating.
