This small but complete zoo was beautiful, as most everything is in Santa Barbara. A bit hard to find but worth it once we got there. A great way to spend a day enjoying the animals and the scenery.

I've been here before and it's a nice little zoo. Has all of your regular animals. The penguins are really fun

The weather was great & the animals were fun to see, but i have never seen such murky water and dirty exhibits in such a highly touted zoo.

A really nice little zoo -- I am used to the STL Zoo that is free so it hurt to pay the prices, but it was a nice place to take my 2 year old granddaughter who really enjoyed it. I was a little disappointed in the food, but really really enjoyed feeding the giraffes.

we visit many times a year...we love the animals and all of the informative talks they give about the animals.

One of the most beautiful zoos I've ever been to. The keepers are knowlagable and well trained. The location is spectacular. Not one of the largest zoos, but very well maintained and set up. Beware the big grassy knoll next to the kids playground. The kids love to slide down it on cardboard or papers, but it can be slippery...

Smallish but really nice zoo. Certainly not the San Diego zoo but well worth a few hours of your time if you love animals and/or have kids. Elephants, gorillas, lions, snow leopards, giraffes, etc. A great way to spend a few hours for a small price ($14 adult).

Assortment of animals & reptiles to view. A lot more than during my last visit over 15 years ago.
Facilities & grounds throughout the zoo were clean.
Food & snacks fairly expensive, even food offered to feed animals.

a basic zoo, cute place to take little ones. it's not overwhelming like san diego. it doesn't take up a full day to see it.
