Oakland Zoo is a 100-acre zoo located in Oakland, California, where most of the 660 animals live in habitats that mimic those in nature. One great example is the Wayne and Gladys Valley Children's Zoo, which provides state-of-the-art enclosures for animals as well as interactive exhibits and play areas for children.

The kids have the opportunity to see and learn about ring-tailed lemurs, Aldabra tortoises, goats, sheep, river otters, American alligators, pot-bellied pigs, bats, and Old World rabbits and a lot of bugs in the Bug Room. Visitors can reach one of the zoo's major exhibits, California Trail, by riding a new aerial gondola from the old part of the zoo. California Trail is home to bald eagles, California condors, grizzly bears, mountain lions, grey wolves, black bears, jaguars, and American bison.
