hildren building a sand
castle on Santa Barbara's
popular East Beach may be
surprised to look up and see
a giraffe watching them.
Beach volleyball players often hear lions roaring, and surfers sometimes hear the hoot-hoothooting of a gibbon. Just across the street from
the blue Pacific is the Santa Barbara Zoo -
the only zoo on earth where lions enjoy an
ocean view.
Parents call this lush seaside park quaint,
but children know it as amazing. Located on
30 acres of botanic gardens just two miles from
downtown, this beautiful facility cares for over
500 animals. Start your adventure with an
open-air waterfront shuttle ride
from Stearns Wharf to the zoo.
See creatures like Asian elephants,
African lions, lowland gorillas,
Chilean flamingos, California
condors, and Humboldt penguins
up close. Or, tour the zoo during a
miniature train ride.
Exploring the park feels like traveling to another continent, but many Golden
State native species join their exotic counterparts here, too. The zoo is heavily involved in
local recovery programs for the Channel Island
fox, California condor, and the red-legged frog.
What's it like to watch penguins take the
plunge from the rocks into the water, hand-feed
a Masai giraffe, or come nose-to-beak with the
largest North American land bird? Though the
words might escape you, the memories definitely will not.

nowhere else on earth
