Happy Hollow Park and Zoo is a 16-acre zoological park in San Jose that was originally opened to the public in 1961. Today, it is an Association of Zoos and Aquariums accredited facility and a member facility of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. Park animal exhibits are structured to incorporate as much free roaming for animals as possible, with areas to allow animals to go off exhibit for break times. Exhibits include a lemur woods exhibit, a fossa exhibit, the recently-renovated vintage Crooked House, and an Animal Barn playplace and petting zoo. An animal hospital is also showcased on site, along with a Learning L.O.D.G.E. educational center and an outdoor Redwood Lookout children's playground. A variety of children's and family rides are offered at the park, including a family roller coaster and a carousel showcasing endangered species.
