We went when it was not the best weather, but we didnt even see half the animals. Whats the point of being open when all the animals are hiding.

The zoo was beautiful! Lots of animals to see. The kids especially loved the petting zoo.

I live in Sacramento and love to go to the Sacramento Zoo to just sit and read a book and listen to the animals around me. The grounds are beautiful. The zoo food is good. The corndogs give you that state fair corndog taste all year and the garlic fries are great. The grounds are clean and, generally, don't have... More

We took our 2.5 year old daughter here for the day and she loved it. I think every toddler and pregnant mother in the greater sacramento area was there the Saturday we visited! ;) They have a small train (no track) that drives the little ones around the park.

I've been privileged to have seen many zoos in this country: Philadelphia (the US oldest), San Diegeo, Bronx, Atlanta, Orlando/Sanford, etc. This one was a pleasant surprise. It has a great cross section of animals and wildlife, plants, and more. It's large enough to be interesting, yet compact enough to prevent fatigue and/or crankiness from the younger - or older... More
