Why only 3 stars? Well I think 3 stars is average - not great but not bad either. I based this review on the following: The zoo is located in the hills of Griffith Park so walking it can be a challenge for those with disabilities or at least difficulty walking. There are also a number of displays that are under renovation. There are also very few attendants that we could find to ask questions. Now on to the good. Lots of animals out and active. The staff we interacted with we're very helpful. The food at one of the cafes was good and reasonably priced. We felt we got our money's worth for the admission price.

If you're in the area and are looking for a way to spend the day I think this is an enjoyable choice. Leave time to walk the entire park so that you can catch the various animals when they're out and active.
