My Review by gummy boots via Gogobot on 3/12/2014

Although it's not the biggest zoo, it's quite a well designed one. There's lots of green open space for the kids to run about /picnic. And they put co

My Review by Netta Denes Drimer via Gogobot on 3/10/2014

A beautiful huge zoo, so that you just can't get enough of it. You can take the zoo train or the lift to get a view of the park (extra payment). If yo

My Review by Liza Prado via Gogobot on 5/6/2011

The Oakland Zoo is a nice Bay Area zoo--very modern, with your standard animals, plus a petting zoo. There is also an updated playground and rides lik

Love it! by Laura P via Insider Pages on 8/2/2008

Great Zoo for all the Animal at heart! Monkey gym was very entertaining. Met a fantastick employee, Mike Q. He was very helpful with the kids & made them feel as if they were in the exhibit. We will visit again!

great zoo by Stephanie F via Insider Pages on 10/18/2006

This zoo is a very nice zoo. The set up of it is better than others around. i like the skyride to go see some of the animals you cna not see well from walking. The little amusement park is also very nice.

nice size by Heather C via Insider Pages on 3/16/2006

This zoo is great to take the kids to. Beware, though that there are a bunch of kiddie rides situated right outside the entrance. So if your kids love to go on the little train rides, you might get stuck here and never enter the park. …

Small compact zoo for preschoolers by priya v via Insider Pages on 3/14/2006

Since it is not a very big zoo, its nice to take the little ones there. By the time they get tired and cranky, we can come out of the zoo and we have seen all of it. I really liked this place. My child loved it too.

good for little kids by David C via Insider Pages on 3/15/2006

We've only been here once but we have a good time. There aren't that many animals but they have enough to keep the kids interested. They also have a pretty good little train ride (a must for the boys) and a little amusement part area. …

just right by Patricia W via Insider Pages on 3/15/2006

This zoo is just the right size for small children. There are lots of animals to see but not so many that you feel like you have to skip sections. The lions can be a little hard to spot, but it's nice that they have some space. The…

Oakland Zoo by Trent B via Insider Pages on 11/30/2005

Suprisingly one of the better zoos on the west coast. Located in a large park area the Oakland zoo has several exhibits and attractions for all ages. Bording on the large size there are pleanty of exhibits to see. Great price, friendly…

Fun zoo by Laura J via Insider Pages on 11/29/2005

Nice sized zoo in Oakland, its not the most modern or well kept up but they had some surprisingly good exhibits. Really kid friendly as there is a playground area with rides, including a sky car thingy, like at Disneyland. I think only…

Oakland Zoo by Shilpa V via Insider Pages on 11/28/2005

This zoo is not as big as the San Francisco zoo, but it is definitely worth visiting. The place is clean and well-maintained. The staff is helpful if you have any questions. And my kids absolutely loved it. Since it is closer to me than…

Impressive Improvements by Jane V via Insider Pages on 11/22/2005

Wow, this zoo is so much better than I last saw it ten years ago. You can really tell the city took efforts in making improvements and it's a great asset to children in the bay area. My nephews really enjoyed the petting zoo, which use…

Fun Day Out by Rosie T via Insider Pages on 11/21/2005

The Oakland Zoo is a fun experience for the whole family. Kids will love watching all the animals, and adults will enjoy watching and learning about them from the helpful information provided for each animal. It is a great interactive…

Oakland Zoo by Jessica D via Insider Pages on 11/7/2005

The Oakland Zoo is not as big as the San Francisco, but that is just fine with me. Its a great place to take the kids beacuse you don't have to walk forever to visit all of the exhibits. This zoo is smaller than most, but it just as fun.…

Zoo and Rides by Mark N via Insider Pages on 11/7/2005

I take my kids to the Oakland zoo more often. It's closer than the San Francisco zoo for us so it's more convenient to get to. They have a pretty good collection of animals there despite the fact that it is a lot smaller than the SF zoo.…

nice zoo by jennifer b via Insider Pages on 11/3/2005

We love the Oakland Zoo. even though it is a smaller zoo, it is perfectfor little onies. i love the fact that you can let your little one explore a little more, let them out of the stroller and walk on their own. At the zoo they have rides…

A the best in the East Bay by Chris T via Insider Pages on 11/3/2005

The Oakland zoo is a wonderful place. I just recently went there to spend some time with my girlfriend. I went there thinking that it would be an ok experience, just because we are in our 20s and no longer kids. But I was shocked at how…
