概要
クイックファクト: Over 3,700 animals representing more than 650 species call this 100-acre wildlife sanctuary home. The zoo also operates a massive 1,800-acre wildlife park alliance where endangered species like the California condor are bred and saved from extinction.
見どころ: Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of nutritionists prepares over 6,000 custom meals daily in one of the largest animal kitchens on the planet, including fresh-frozen fish popsicles for the polar bears. The zoo's wildlife care specialists have successfully bred more than 200,000 animals, including the first giant panda cub born in the United States.
インサイダーヒント
- Skip the crowded entrance bus and take the Kangaroo Bus (hop-on-hop-off) instead to cover more ground efficiently.
- Visit the absolutely must-see Giant Panda Research Station before 11 AM when the pandas are most active and the viewing lines are shortest.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes because the zoo is built on a canyon with steep hills, and the Skyfari aerial tram gives your legs a break with stunning views.
- The Children's Zoo area and petting paddock are surprisingly delightful for adults too, especially during the 11:30 AM reptile handling session.
