Enjoyed most of the day at the zoo. We didn t get to see all the animals. It is a very big zoo. We visited during the week so it was not crowded at all. We love the monkeys and the day we went they were kind of loud but funny.
Always a good place to hang out with the kids and family, getting the annual pass is great, you don't need to rush and see everything on one day.
such a precious lil zoo! they need more baby goats though!!!!!!!
I love that you learn a lot and help children in their natural learning.
Love it i like it better on weekdays not so busy we lucked out an all the animals were out an they have giraffe feedings for 5 dollars which i thought was cool
A wonderful zoo in a lovely setting. You forget you're in the middle of a major city.
I'm sure had we gone as a family of 4 instead of a class trip it would have been perfect. Keeping multiple first grade classes waiting for almost an hour just to get in the zoo is a bit extreme. Something needs to help improve the process.
Loved Zoo lights. Make sure to dress warm. Jacket, scarf. It's chilly. Kids will love it!!
Enjoyable zoo with various animals and petting experiences. Affordable tickets.
Tip: Show them your AAA membership to save a few dollars on admission
Animal exhibits are almost empty with very less animals. Food options are also very less.
I come here with my niece often. If you do to, get a membership and skip the long lines...
Great time. Meeting some of the smaller inhabitants up close.
LA Zoo did a great job this year with the LA Zoo Lights. Highly recommended to pay a visit.
Went during the holidays to see the lights... It was stunning!
A must for everyone who is here. Mega beautiful well-kept enclosures and animals. Good selection in the shop and moderate prices.
Cute animals great price awesome activities huge place sometimes they have presentations love this place love animals good food what can u ask for more come on down to the la zoo oh and bring hats and sunglasses,sunscreen and water.
Highly satisfied!!! And most definitely recommend families to swing on by to L.A zoo. Just WOW. It's the first time I bring my family and the staff was just over the top on top of it with their kindness and very helpful and resourceful. On top on animals needs and resources on letting us know as we browse and enjoy their company. It was just an amazing experience!!! Thanks for everything. Keep up the great work!
Great ....kids and I love it.. staff was nice and masked..zoo was clean and not overly crowded ..
Great zoo. It's big! Make sure you gave yourself at the very least 3 hours.
It was so great to see the animals. I had a tour and the tour guide was so sweet.
I'm normally a big proponent for the LA Zoo. I'm a zoo member and have had a membership for the last 6 years. This was my first visit in quite a while however. I still rate it highly but I think just a few areas weakened my experience.
I enjoy photographing the animals and in a few ways this has gotten even harder. There sometimes appear to be fewer animals of a given breed on display. This reduces the chances of getting a good view of an animal breed/species at any given time. I also noticed late in the day that the jaguar didn't appear to be on display or was well hidden (could have been brought in for the day). I was never impressed with the visibility in that enclosure, but the one place I had good luck getting photos in the past is now useless because the vegetation growth now blocks the view.
I suspect that the animal inventory was reduced because of ever changing zoo requirements that recommend more and more space per animal. Overall however, I still believe it's a wonderful place and a great experience for kids and anyone else that loves or takes an interest in animals. They also try to show case various plant life around the facility and often have placards with their names on them.
Went there for "Wild Nights", d.j. and concert in summer. We had a blast!!!
Great place, always busy, mostly only worthwhile on a cooler day, in the spring-summer all the animals are sleeping/hiding in the shade and there's not much to see/do
What a great zoo and in our very own backyard. The animals look to be taken care of with much love and TLC. The park itself is great and no matter ow many times you come you are bound to go a different route or discover another animal you might have missed the last time.
It was great an awesome experience my kids loved it they love the fact that they could feed the giraffe but it does cost $5 per person but really you're willing to spend a little money to make your kids happy why not also they have all kinds of animals and events going on it just depends on which Days you go oh plus its like $21 per adult and $16per kid 2 years or older
Love this zoo. My son and daughter are two and under so they appreciate the animals they can name and stay clear of anything scary looking (reptiles lol). It's a great way to spend the day with family. I have been visiting since I was a kid myself, so it's a full circle experience for me.
Busy, but worth the money. Lots of variety. Hilly so bring shoes.
Great customer service, friendly staff. Kids love this place. Highly recommended!!
Usually have a good time here, and get a healthy amount of exercise.
Great place. Not as big as the one in San Diego but worth it. Not too expensive. It will probably take you 4-6 hours to walk it all
I think the animals are lacking more care .. And more animals are missing .. And a little grooming would be perfect .. !!
We were at the Christmas lights show and it was fabulous and well done. One of the pictures looks like musical notes but it is actually flamingos.
I really loved the setting of this zoo. It is an absolute joy to walk around through here. However, I can't help feeling dismayed at the size of the enclosures for some of the animals.
I know that there are many animal lovers out there that would like to see zoos outright banned. I personally feel that they have an important role, but that they must focus on always improving the quality of life of the animals. San Diego, for example, provides lots of room.
The gibbons and the snow leopards struck me as the two most striking examples of small enclosures. The gibbons barely had room to jump around and the snow leopard's pool doesn't have the room for them to all play at once.
Very nice place for the whole family. Affordable prices on food and beverages
Great zoo. Buy tickets online the lines are long. Wear comfortable shoes. Its a lot of walking
This zoo is huge and the layout is pretty good but it we expected to see almost every type of animal. We are from texas so we see elephants, bears, tigers, giraffes, lions and gorillas at most zoos we visit. Since this one is so large we expected those animals and more. The only animal here that was a surprise were the seals at the entrance. Lines for getting a drink were outrageous as well.
It's a good place to just get outside and walk around. A lot of the animals seem unhappy. I recommend San Diego Zoo instead.
I was fantastic bye the way I went to a day the monkeys where doing this see the differences in all
Who doesn't love the zoo!? Lots to do and lots to see! Don't forget to pack that sunscreen! Make sure to check beforehand to see if there are any events going on! Definitely recommend.
Very nice, you need physical condition, enough benches to rest and water fountains.
not worth the price if you start your visit in the afternoon. you re going to feel extremely rushed as they start putting the animals away an hour BEFORE the zoo closes. we had to run through everything, barely enjoying the animals, as we were trying to briefly glimpse everything we wanted to see before they were brought inside. there was also an escaped peacock on the loose that none of the staff seemed to know about. if you re a tourist, save your money.
Get here early to avoid the crowds and nab free parking. Free parking lot is big but sometimes full by noon.
I've been to better Zoo's! First Zoo visit in California and I was not impressed there were no elephants and the trolley took 25 minutes, huge park and only 1 running!
Good day at the zoo. We arrived later in the day,so or was a little less crowded than usual. Some animals already put away for the night.
This zoo is depressing, the animals never seem to want to come out which is probably because they don't want to be there but who knows!
It is a great opportunity to be able to keep animals safe and healthy.
Very good place when you go to Los Angeles on vacation
Many of the exhibits were completely empty. While it was very lush with plenty of shade, they planted bushes and plants in between the exhibits and the viewing areas. I had to keep picking up my 4 year at most of the viewing areas so he could see the animals. Doesn't seem like they had children in mind when they planted the botanical gardens. It is a zoo and kids are there to see the animals, not your exotic plant.
Buyer beware hit or miss with the animals. Every time my little family heads out we have never seen the elephants once or gorillas so guess hit or mess
Well worth the price of membership. A gem, especially if you have children.
I'll always love the zoo, I wish I got there sooner though. They put the big animals away earlier than closing time so I had to run to my favorites before they were gone. But it was great exercise lol
It is beautiful place, but I expected more animals there
