a lot of these suburbanites are raving about how wonderful it is and it's such a deal to pay 12 bucks to go there! Pulease! I have the same animals (mostly) back in Florida! the only things that's not a pet there, is a jaguar, a monkey, and a pair of lemurs. These people are excited to see rabbits, crows,... more

4/13/08 Took my grandaughter, used to go there with my kids. The section with "rides" only had one ride running, and the rest of the area was very run down, not much for kids to do besides climb on the firetruck. Merry-go-round & cars were not open. The zoo was ok for little ones, but made us feel badly for... more

Okay, here it is in a nutshell. Visit the park on the first Tuesday of the month to get the $1.00 admission per person versus the $6.00 price tag if you can. Parking will usually be $6.00 on a daily basis. Visit the Japanese Gardens first around 10-1030. You will easily spend an hour here just walking around the garden... more

My wife and I took our three-year-old daughter here two days in a row during a recent family visit in San Jose, CA. The park is divided into two parts: a zoo and an amusement park. The zoo contains an interesting mix of animals, including lemurs, meerkats, jaguar, monkeys, pot-bellied pig, and others. My daughter was most interested in the... more

The zoo has many different animals to see: a pygmy hippo, jaguar, meerkats, lemurs, wallabies and more. There is a petting zoo with a zebu, goats, llamas, etc.... more
