The LA Zoo…

Leave a comment
We spend a lot of time up in Santa Barbara at the zoo and we love it. It may be small but its worth the drive. Today we decided that maybe we should stay local and check out the LA Zoo again. I will say its not as nice  as the SB Zoo but they are working on it. The last time we were there the Elephant habitat was still in the process of being remodeled. Now its compete and we wanted to see the end result. So we chose a week day to avoid the crowds and headed over to the zoo. 
We didn’t get to see everything that we had hoped to, especially the elephants. Several of the animal habitats kept our attention for a while and we ran out of time, but what we did have the chance to see was great! The tigers, the gorillas, and the chimpanzees were a big favorite as well as the American black bear. We had such  a wonderful time at the zoo. Hopefully we will get the chance to go again soon and see more!

Lazy Day at the L.A. Zoo

Shaun and I decided to take Abby to the L.A. Zoo yesterday. We usually go to the Santa Barbara Zoo but since this was a bit of an after thought, we didn’t have the time to drive all of the way up to Santa Barbara.

I haven’t been to the L.A. Zoo in years. It is still a work in progress thats for sure and many of the enclosures for the animals dont allow for kids in strollers to see the animals. I have to say thats where the San Diego Zoo has changed a lot. Hopefully we can go there soon! Abby still had fun and she definitly noticed more of the animals on her own now. She found Reggie the Alligator on her own and was very excited to see him. We also saw Meerkats, Flamingos, Lions, Tigers and Bears… Oh my! As well as some Hippos, Snow Leopards, Koalas, Kangaroos and of course we cannot forget the Giraffes!

It was a lovely day and afterward we drove around through Griffith Park, drove Sunset (where we saw Barney the Dinosaur and he waved at us… no joke!) and then took PCH home. It was a lovely impromptu Saturday out and I loved it!


I posted a few snapshots from the day, but you can check out the slideshow below for more photos!
