User Reviews of City of Los Angeles

It's a zoo

I don't normally frequent zoos, but one of my hobbies is photography and there aren't many places in Los Angeles where you can get close up pictures of a Meerkat family. So, every few months my husband and I...

large zoo with lots of walking

I remember the one time I went, it was in blazing hot weather and I recall having to walk A LOT. The place was a lot larger than I expected, because we didn't even have time to see everything. The elephants...

Be prepared to walk alot

I took my 18 month old to the zoo. We had a great time. She loved running around the open areas just as much as seeing the animals. There is alot of construction now so getting around is tough. Following the...

Uninspiring

Save the eight dollars and drive to the San Diego zoo instead. The entire zoo is painted UPS brown. The animal enclosures are huge concrete behemoths that neither enhance the view, nor recreate the animals...

A Day With the Animals

I've lived in the Los Angeles area for years now, but I never visited the zoo until my sister came to visit. We made a half day out of it, and we had a blast. We saw the new house exhibits, and we took our...

Much Improved

Before recently, I hadn't been to the Zoo in over 10 years and I didn't have much desire to back. My memories were of a foul-smelling place, animals that seemed miserable in 100-degree plus heat, where the...

animals rule1

I have always loved the zoo. I enjoy this zoo everytime I go. To avoid the crowds, go during the week. The Kola house is very cute.

Animals Everywhere!

They're living on nuts and berries

Yes, there are better zoos. Even though L.A.'s is a bit worn around the edges, it's still a great walk among shade and flower with a few habitats that are innovatively designed. Actually a much longer day than...

Go Early

The best time to catch the animals in action is right when the zoo opens. Before noon, the animals are out and about, and it's not too hot--even in the summer.

A melting pot

A trip to the L.A. zoo is an incredible experience not only for the animals (which are super cute, especially the elephants and the sea lions), but for people-watching, as well. It's one of the few places in...
