Cute, little, clean...nice for the younger kids. Brought my boys a few times between the ages of 18 months and 5 years. It's big enough and very nice to visit during the week when it's slow.

I love seeing the animals and learning about them. I thank them. I feel sad that they are locked up versus free, but grateful to be able to see them and appreciate them. The Sacramento Zoo gives the animals decent size spaces. It is clean and there are plenty of docents to educate you during your visit. Best to see... More

My kids have grown up with the animals here. My eldest daughter cried when the hippo died. My baby girl can sit and watch the monkeys for hours. My boys love how you can get up close and personal with the big cats.

When is not fun going to a zoo. The zoo was fun. Sign up for the tours. They are worth it. Going in spring is best when weather is reasonable.

Land Park is so beautiful... One would expect that the Zoo would hold to the same standards. - We have visited this zoo 3 times, each time hoping *this* visit would be better than the last. Not much to view, and cost (?)

I enjoy coming to this small zoo. It is a relaxed family atmosphere. Beside the animal viewing there are also educational opportunities and other activities at times. There is a giraffe encounter to feed the giraffes at times also. Best to check their website the day you plan to go to see what's happening. The Conservation Carousel seemed to be... More

While visiting family in Sacramento, we went to the Sacramento Zoo. It is a very nice zoo and extremely clean. It features a lot of different animals that were fun to watch. You can actually get up fairly close to them - while watching through the proper barriers. Our 3 year old granddaughter really enjoyed it -- especially the giraffes... More

We love the zoo. Don't go there too often of course, but when friends and family come to town with their little kids in tow... we can always go to the Sacramento Zoo for a fun filled day of adventure.

I don't have a major opinion, but I enjoyed it. Watch some neat animals, feed giraffes and learn about the animals and their habitats. They have some interactive shows on the weekends. It's good for a nice day to do something different and see some beautiful animals. Would be good for kids birthday parties. I would suggest going during the... More
