SeaWorld San Diego

Address: 500 Sea World Dr., San Diego, CA 92109, USA

They have lots of aquatic animals including killer whale, dolphins, turtles, sharks, penguins sea lions etc etc. You can have interactions with the animals if you pay or can watch the presentation shows that are free with your entry ticket. There are lots of water rides too. Restrooms and eating stalls are packed throughout the campus. It's a perfect one day get away for kids and adults alike.”

California Living Museum

Address: 10500 Alfred Harrell Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 93306, USA

Zoo

“Great place to take out son. He loves going to see the animals and take the train ride. We enjoy it so much we decided to get a family membership which is also a great value at 60.00 for a family membership. That's 2 adults and up to 6 children. They don't have as many animals as other larger zoos but there are a good number. They have a small aquatics area with some Jellyfish, sea horses, and clams and abalone. They have an area for small children with some donkeys, a pony and various sheep. They also have a snack shack, picnic area, playground and gift shop. We also love going during the holidays for their holiday light show, it is one of the best we have gone too and has won some awards.”

Sky Falconry

Address: 593 Anderson Truck Trail, Alpine, CA 91901, USA

Zoo

“This was the perfect raptor tour. Our guides knew their stuff and gave clear and concise information about everything from husbandry to conservation. Not only that, they made efforts to know the names of participants, which is no small feat. There was plenty of time to take pictures and see these birds in action in their normal habitat. I left the tour excited to put what I learned into practice. I have already told all my friends about my experience and am encouraging them to join a tour soon; you should too!!! Thanks Sky Falconry for providing this wonderful space to be up close with these majestic birds on your beautiful property!”

Ricardo Breceda's Art Gallery

Address: 44395 White Mountain Rd, Aguanga, CA 92536, USA

Art gallery Zoo Park Museum

“We noticed some huge sheet metal sculptures from the highway, and decided to check it out. There is a $10 fee to enter the sculpture garden, but in exchange you get a small artwork to take with you, or a credit toward the purchase of a larger piece. There are works by seven different artists displayed. I was amazed, and glad we stopped by. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that the prices are not posted, although it was interesting talking with the gentleman there about the artworks while getting the price information.”

Bravo Farms Vintage Cheese Factory

Address: 36005 CA-99, Traver, CA 93673, USA

Zoo Park Store Restaurant

“The dinning area is really nice. Very family friendly. A little on the expensive side but not going to blow your budget. Didn't have many ice cream flavors at the moment but since it's close to summer that might change. Liked the gift shop, had tons of cute items such as: toys for kids, candy tons of candy, funny postcards, and tons of items to remember your trip to Traver. They had some animals: a llama, a goat, 2 donkeys, 2 chickens, a pig, 3 bunnies, 2 quails (I think),a parakeet?, and a PEACOCK 🦚!! The only thing I don't like is that you can't really interact with many of the animals, it's understandable for the safety of the children, but it would be better to get a little closer. Really nice area to spend a couple of hours with your family. I'm Carlos Dominguez, and I approve this message. 👌”

Avian Behavior International

Address: 23945 Old Wagon Rd, Escondido, CA 92027, USA

Zoo

“Great experience! Really enjoyed this outing. We did the Macaw Free Flight and Falcon Experience. The view from the top of the hill where the birds fly, looking out over the valley is really nice. Seeing the birds fly free is just beautiful. A few (wild) hawks showed up too! Really enjoyed the tour. The guides are knowledgeable and really seem to want their guests to have a good time and enjoy learning about their birds. The whole experience comes with a friendly, low key vibe - very enjoyable. After seeing the birds in flight, we each got to hold a macaw and a falcon, and then walked back down the hill and had the opportunity to meet and interact with a few of the other birds on the premises. They have burros, goats and an alligator too! All the birds and other animals look great and seem very happy. Lunch at the Lake Wohlford Cafe on the way home is worth a stop too.”

Hawk On Hand Falconry

Address: 4235 Monterey Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90032, USA

Zoo Park

“My husband booked the "triple threat" for me and my family for my birthday and it was truly an exceptional once-in-a-life-time experience! Adam is an extremely knowledgeable falconer and guide. It was awesome to see him handle the magnificent birds with such finesse. Holding the owl was surreal! What a beautiful and gentle encounter. Then came time for the hawks to show their stuff. Having them land on my arm was such an exhilarating thrill as one who has always loved birds. I cannot recommend Hawks on Hand enough! Thank you so very much, Adam! I hope to make their (and your) acquaintance again in the future.”

Big Bear Alpine Zoo

Address: 42801 Moonridge Rd, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315, USA

Zoo Park

“Amazing little zoo!! Didn't expect a whole lot going in and boy was I wrong. This intimate little zoo allowed us to see these animals way closer than expected! Went on a weekday, so it wasn't very busy. All of the exhibits were great, but the bear exhibits truly stood out. I have never been able to get that close to a bear before. It was truly magnificent. The thing that puts this zoo ahead of all others I have been to is how closely all of the animals can be viewed. Also my first time seeing a snow leopard. Definitely recommend!”

Oak Tree Mountain

Address: 38480 Oak Glen Rd, Oak Glen, CA 92399, USA

Amusement park Zoo Bakery Meal takeaway Restaurant Store

“10/10. Great for family days and super fun for just a date as well! We love coming up here at least once a year and it's always well worth it! Between the petting zoo, kids playground, axe throwing, that huge slide, there's so much to do and we will always love this place!👍🏻👍🏻”

Gilroy Ostrich Farm

Address: 5560 Pacheco Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020, USA

Zoo

“It's a great little farm. Filled with animals whom you can feed and watch their interactions with each other. It's fun watching their movements and how they interact with each other. Theirs an assortment of animals and majority of them can eat the same diets. But please follow the sheet they give you which tells you what animal can eat what. Have fun! 🤣”

Oasis Camel Dairy

Address: 26757 CA-78, Ramona, CA 92065, USA

Zoo

“A very nice weekend getaway from San Diego. Everyone from toddler to senior citizens enjoyed the hospitality of the camel dairy staff and the environment. Very nicely the lifestyle of the camels and sheep and other pets like parrots cockatoo were explained in detail. Everyone had the thrill of feeding the camels and the sheep or baa baas according to my toddler grandson. Their soaps and creams from camel milk are worth trying. Loved the trip.”

Oakland Zoo

Address: 9777 Golf Links Rd, Oakland, CA 94605, USA

Zoo

“Awesome!!!! One of the BEST zoos I've ever been too! The first, in fact. I used to live in Oakland and conveniently close to the zoo. Even now in Danville, a town in Contra Costa County, but along the border of Alameda County, I still live close, for it is on the other side of San Ramon and Castro Valley. I've always loved that zoo ever since I was little and I still love it now. Eleven years ago, I also attended a zoo camp program and LOVED IT!!!! I also love their cafe, gift shop, and the various attractions - including the train, one of the best parts of all! I strongly recommended this zoo to everyone - especially those that live in the East Bay. I also recommend this zoo to scientists, like myself, those that want the access to animals they don't usually get to encounter, those that love nature and being outdoors, and all Lion King fans, such as me!! Every time I've been to the Oakland Zoo, the place has also reminded me of the animal/nature films I grew up with such as Dumbo, The Jungle Book, and of course, The Lion King. I've been there many times with friends and I'm strongly hoping to get a job there someday. I've had so much experience with the Oakland Zoo and have loved it! Everyone there is treated like friends and family. It is a perfect place for others to spend time at and socialize, and also to hold events. If you need time to spend with lions, tigers, elephants, bears or other animals you don't get to be with everyday, come to the Oakland Zoo and see how awesome that zoo really is!”

Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary

Address: 403 Stafford St, Folsom, CA 95630, USA

Zoo Park

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful sanctuary. Great number of animals in large cages. Fun to watch the bear eat the eggs off the rocks and chomp through an artichoke. There are loud peacocks and quiet deer wondering around. And they recently added a barn which is a good addition. We saw a group of kids there doing crafts and were off to clean a cage and learn about caring for the animals, so that is something they offer.”

Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary

Address: 8545 Buttemere Rd, Phelan, CA 92371, USA

Zoo Park

“All of the animals were very healthy and happy. I spent a lot of time with their amazing, sweet birds. I'm not really a bird person but Cody won my heart. My 5 year old granddaughter really enjoyed herself and with this pandemic she really needed to get out. With guidelines being met we felt very safe and comfortable.”
