Los Angeles Zoo

The Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a premier zoological facility located at 5333 Zoo Drive in Los Angeles, California, owned and operated by the City of Los Angeles. The zoo is home to an impressive collection of wildlife including tigers, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, giraffes, flamingos, California condors, and Grevy's zebras, with the California Condor Recovery Facility representing one of the zoo's most significant conservation achievements. Live bird shows, gorilla talks, and interactive programming bring animal education to life, while themed evening events, lawn games, food trucks, and special activities offer entertainment for a wide range of visitors. The zoo's mission — saving wildlife, enriching communities, and creating connections to nature — drives year-round educational camps, classes, and community engagement initiatives that make the LA Zoo a beloved cultural and conservation landmark.
