Note, this article was written before Covid, but the Zoo has reopened with a reservation system.

We arrived at the San Francisco Zoo on a Saturday morning shortly after the 10:00 a.m. opening to meet some friends for a day at the zoo.  Parking was easy, the line for tickets was short, and in a matter of minutes we were wandering the paths to see giraffes, zebras and lions.  Granted, we were there in December, but it was a Saturday with good weather, and the zoo felt uncrowded.

The Layout

One of the things we noticed right away was that there were a lot of different vantage points for viewing the animals, and it was often possible to get a good close-up view of the animals.  Many exhibits had large habitats for the animals with paths that led around or to the interior of the space.  For example, a path led around the outside of much of the African Savannah section, and a path into the space led to a viewing location.  Penguin island had viewing from all sides.  Animals who were tired of being on view always had a place to retreat to though.

The Animals

With over 2,000 animals, the San Francisco Zoo had a great variety of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, including endangered and rescued animals.  Most had outdoor viewing areas, but there was also a large indoor Tropical Rainforest with snakes, a sloth, and colorful, free-flying birds.  This was a beautiful environment with lush trees, a river, and a waterfall.

Several animal experiences were standouts for us.  There were a number of free-roaming peacocks that were quite comfortable near people.  We watched some baby bears playing together, and we heard the tiger roaring.  One giraffe we watched kept licking the same rock which the kids found hilarious.  (I can only guess that it was salty.)  We watched the hippo being fed, and it became quite active. It came out of the water for food, then swam around to get the rest of its food.  It’s definitely worthwhile to watch the animals during feeding time.

Lunch

We ate our lunch at The Station, one of three eateries in the zoo.  Named for its proximity to the train station, this restaurant served mainly pizza, sandwiches, and salads.  We enjoyed our pizzas and ate at outdoor tables.  In wet weather, we would have opted for the Leaping Lemur Cafe because it had indoor seating.

The Train

The Little Puffer Steam Train operates when the tracks are dry, and tickets were $6 for those 3 and up.  Children under 3 were free with a paid adult.  The route featured some dinosaur statues along the tracks making it perfect for the preschool crowd.  This was a very short loop track, so the train went around twice.  It was fun while it lasted.  The zoo also had a carousel which was $4 a person, though adults could stand next to a riding child for free.

The Playground

The Elinor Friend Playground was an extensive play area for kids to run around.  Three distinct areas were modeled after different ecosystems and were designed for different ages.  The river habitat was for babies and toddlers.  The Polar Zone was intended for preschool age children, and the Banyan Tree Climbing structure was for kids ages 5-12.  The kids in our party were happy there for quite some time.

The Details

We had a great time at the San Francisco Zoo and would happily go back again sometime.  There was a lot to see and do that would appeal to many ages. 

The zoo is open every day 10 – 5.  Admission was $23 for adults and $17 for kids 4-17 when we visited, but check out their website for current information.  San Francisco residents and seniors receive a discount.  Parking was $10 for weekdays and $12 on the weekend.  You can also get to the zoo on the Muni.  Download the zoo map ahead of time if you want one because they no longer give out paper maps to reduce waste.
