Santa Barbara Zoo

"Santa Barbara Zoo, Santa Barbara by Amanda Proudfit. Located on 30 acres right next to the ocean in Santa Barbara, this zoo’s claim to fame used to be Gemina, the giraffe with the crooked neck (she passed in 2008). Although she’s not there anymore, this zoo is still great! It’s a little smaller than most zoos, but that’s ok because bigger zoos can sometimes get overwhelming. Beautiful scenery, lush landscapes, this zoo is well maintained and can be a very enjoyable experience for people of all ages."
