The only Zoo in LA county. This zoo has come a long way. When I was a kid, it was a major dissapointment. Now, I bring my kids frequently. We have a family membership so we come frequently. If you are a family of 4 and up I would recommend just getting the membership. I think it pays for itself if you go twice. It definitely does not beat the San Diego Zoo but my kids still love it. They do a lot of conservation work and I can get behind that. Many argue that the zoo is a sad place that supports animals to be in captivity. But what they don't realize is that many of the animals were rescues and/or were born in captivity and not capable of living in the wild. Zoos have been responsible of bringing back population of endangered animals in many cases. Please support them! :)
