Oakland Zoo

Managed by the Conservation Society of California, the park hosts over 850 native and exotic animals across open hillside habitats. While the California Trail focuses specifically on regional species such as grizzly bears, wolves, and mountain lions, the botanical setting is equally prominent, framed by varied flora, flowers, and shaded rest benches. Family rides, a veterinary hospital, and seasonal evening events round out the grounds, though navigating the slopes requires significant walking.
