Oakland
Zoo and Children's Zoo
Location: 9777 Golf Links Road, Oakland
Oakland Zoo is located in the middle of pretty Knowland Park, a 525-acre green oasis
in the middle of the city of Oakland. The zoo is home to approximately 450 native
and exotic animals. The setting here is really quite beautiful and the animals are
arranged according to geographic regions or biomes.
Visitors of all ages can travel to Africa, Asia, and Australia without ever leaving
the San Francisco area. There’s also a California 1820 area where guests can view
animals from the early years of the West, when the state was undiscovered and undeveloped.
At the onsite Valley Children’s Zoo, kids can view alligators, lemurs, tortoises,
fruit bats, tarantulas, and otters, enjoy underwater viewing portals, interact with
some of the animals, or jump around in the kid-friendly play areas located near
the Children’s Zoo.
There’s also a sky ride that gives visitors a bird’s-eye view of the park.
