Baboon
Animal Lifestyles
Meet the zoo’s mascots, a troop of Hamadryas baboons full of entertaining antics that will hold your attention like a good movie. Also in the lifestyles building, learn about animal habitats from treetops to mountains to crater lakes.
Cockatoo
Animals in Our Lives
Two exhibits, Animals in Art and In Living Color, highlight some of nature’s muses. Learn how animals use color to attract mates, warn predators away, and find each other. Young zoo-goers can make their own animal-inspired artwork.
Red Panda
Discovery Trail
Planted pathways wind through lush gardens, marshes, and scrubland, where red pandas, otters, prairie dogs, and kangaroos live. Young trailblazers can experience firsthand various types of animal habitats, locomotion, and senses.
Dextor Cow
Barn & Garden
Welcome to the farm! Barbados sheep, pygmy goats, and alpacas are some of the friendly animals you’ll find here. Beside the barn, a picturesque garden with a waterfall, wooden bridge, and pond attracts local ducks and butterflies.
Sea Lion
Sea Lion Court
At the heart of the park, bark hello to California sea lions and relax on the terrace. Three daily feeding demonstrations for the Zoo’s noisiest residents make the sea lion pool one of our most popular attractions.
