Until today I hadn't been here for about 7 years or so . My wife and I took our 2 & 4 year olds today and I was expecting decent zoo and fairly quick trip. I was amazed at what they've done with the place and my wife and I both agreed that this may now be our favorite zoo in California (and we've done all the major cities). The new(ish) safari area sold it for us. All of the animals were out and visible. Can't be beat for the price imo. Note:. We didn't purchase any food so I can't speak to that. Otherwise, easy to get around, something around every corner, not too big, not too small.....very impressed.
