The Los Angeles Zoo is a great place to view a diverse group of animals! The space is sprawling, with the standard enclosures and animals you'd expect at most views. There is a small petting zoo area for kids that is great, and the Zoo has a small tram for those who'd prefer not to walk up hills. The tram does cost a couple of dollars. The Zoo is large, and it can get HOT, so check the weather before you go. Be sure to bring sunscreen and water, especially during the summer. On hot, hot days, they'll have misters located in various areas. The staff are friendly at the Zoo, and the grounds are well maintained. There is a good amount of parking, including "priority" parking, which costs vs. the free parking.
