Treat your family (two adults and two children) to a full day with animals from Anacondas to Zebras, Elephants to Tigers. Nestled in the rolling hills of 525-acre Knowland Park, the Oakland Zoo is home to more than 440 native and exotic animals in a beautifully landscaped setting.

They recently opened Valley Children’s Zoo with amazing exhibits offering unique perspectives on animals (like underwater viewing portals), plenty of hands-on fun in the contact yard, and cool play areas where kids can climb, jump, play, and act like animals. Here they can really get to know alligators, lemurs, tortoises, fruit bats, tarantulas, otters, and much more.

The day promises a lot of fun…the zoo grounds include a gift shop, a zoo train, a sky ride a merry-go-round and other kids’ rides and two restaurants. Pass includes free admission for two adults and two kids and covers your parking costs for the day.

Hey...if our kids are going to act like animals, they might as well learn how to do it right…
