Hesperia Zoo

Hesperia Zoo is a 10-acre exotic animal park located in the high desert of Hesperia, California, open since 2001 and home to native, rare, and endangered species from six continents. Guided tour reservations are required, and visitors can enjoy hands-on feeding encounters with big cats including white tigers and jaguars, as well as lemurs, spider monkeys, camels, porcupines, and exotic hoofstock. Special experiences include a sloth encounter, a capybara meet-and-greet, and a "Picnic with a Primate" morning program that combines animal interaction with a continental breakfast. With its intimate, reservation-based format, the zoo offers a personal and educational wildlife experience ideal for families, animal enthusiasts, and school groups exploring Southern California's Inland Empire region.
