L.A. Zoo is a lovely visit. In the middle of Griffith Park, it very much has a park feel inside. Wandering around, you feel so far away from the city, even though it's right outside of the park. Great if you have kids, just be aware that it is hilly. People with walking issues might want to rent a scooter or take advantage of the zoo tram ($5 adults, $2.50 kids, $2.00 seniors and those with a disability, kids under 2 are free). During the pandemic, you have to make a reservation ahead online so to limit the attendance. Some attractions are closed, but most are open and just socially distance compliant. If you need a day away from the hustle and bustle of L.A., the Zoo is a nice, close and inexpensive escape.
