The zoo is huge and was a lot bigger than I expected. It took about 3.5 to 4 hours to completely walk around the zoo. I love the gondola ride up to another section of zoo! I managed to takes these pictures of the exhibition. I'm sad how I didn't get to visit the Savanna section because it was temporarily closed. If you have EBT or Medi-cal, the tickets ONLY cost $1 to $5/per person with FREE parking!
