A Fresno gem and wonderful family friendly experience. Through Measure Z, the Chaffee Zoo has been able to improve and expand the zoo to make it a quality experience. The new Africa exhibit is really nicely done and the Kopje Lodge has decent food for moderate prices. If you live in the area and have kids or just like having somewhere to go wander I would suggest getting a year pass, it pays for itself in 7 trips. Great place to go for dates without spending a ton of money. Pro tip: If you want to go when it is less crowded, go in to morning. The animals are also more active. During the summer, always go as soon as it opens, before it gets hot.
