Don’t miss a chance to see hundreds of animals at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The 43-acre zoo with wildlife trail and aviary is home to hundreds of animals from giant elephants to tiny frogs, ferocious lions and charming penguins. The zoo’s conservation efforts include a number of on-site programs, such as species survival plans and research programs.
