FIRST TIME at the LA Zoo | All Animals, Exhibits & More

We went to the LA Zoo for the very first time! We love zoos and we've been to many across the country, but we've never been to the LA Zoo, primarily because it's in LA, and who wants to deal with that traffic?
But we decided it was past time we made a visit to the LA Zoo. It was larger than I expected it to be, but we prefer our home zoo in San Diego.
During our visit to the LA Zoo, we saw lizards, snakes, flamingos, tigers, hippos, elephants, giraffes, gorillas, and a host of other animals, including some new animals we haven't seen in any other zoo.

    I mostly know of the LA Zoo from the intro to the tv show Three's Company. Late 70s, early 80s show. Some things still look familiar but it looks like back then some of those animals were a lot closer. then again they also had some of the actors standing within the enclosures.

    Last time i went to the LA Zoo was over 25 years ago. The Mircats were ... well you hang a right at the burger place you went too. It was underground looking with these bubble windows you could stick your head up into and be eye level with them. Its amazing how some parts of the zoo are so different but other parts are exactly like i remember. The giraffe area looks exactly the same.

    19:40 that’s the lion exhibit but the LA zoo seems to always adopt older lions from other zoos so they always die every 5 or so years

    It was certainly hot and exhausting the time of year that we went. However, it’s not nearly as exciting of a zoo as the San Diego Zoo. We’re hoping to check out some of the nation’s top zoos this year during a road trip to visit family. We will be going to both the Columbus Zoo and the Henry Doorly Zoo and we are excited to see how they compare to SDZ.

    Yes, I knew you wouldn’t let me down. I didn’t recall seeing an LA zoo video, but I figured you’d have one because you do everything else. Glad I can glance at it to see what’s there (well at least what was there at the time) to get an idea.

    Your timed ticket is just for entry. You can arrive 15 minutes before your timed entry and it expires 30 minutes later. But once you're in the park, yes, you can stay until close.

    Great video. A couple quick comments. The Australia House closed before COVID so I think it's just closed. Also the Gila Monster is pronounced "Hee-la" monster, just a little tip from a former southwesterner.
