2 reviews for Orange County Zoo
The other zoo of my childhood (Most recent visit: Past June).
After hiking , or biciclying on a bicycle for two , around Irvine Regional Park and you are wonder what else there is aside from countless barbecues, hills, peacocks...there's the Orange County Zoo.
Two grizzly bears call it home, so do coyotes, owls, turkey vultures, mountian lions, among others. There were plans for a harbour seal, but I simply can't imagine a seal in that place.
For some reason, I feel that there are more things to see in Santa Ana Zoo, but perhaps that's just me.
The feeding area is fun, and it's cool to see the goats want to eat from your hand.
There's also some educational plaques around the park, giving information about plants and their medicinal uses by the local tribes.
The donkeys and llamas are my favourite part of the zoo, aside from the bear and owls.
It's pretty amazing that this little zoo has more to see than the Santa Ana Zoo which is much bigger. Admission is also cheaper at $3/person. It won't take you more than 30 mins to walk through the entire zoo area if you only stop about 10 secs at each exhibit. If you pause to feed the animals at the feeding area you can give yourself 40-50 mins and you'll be done.
Situated inside Irvine Regional Park, the zoo might cost close to nothing, but parking will set you back $5/car.
