Sacramento Zoo, Animal conservation center in William Land Park, Sacramento, US
Sacramento Zoo is an animal facility in William Land Park featuring creatures from various regions worldwide. The grounds contain multiple habitats connected by pathways where you can view different species throughout the day.
The facility opened in 1927 starting with local animals like raccoons, deer, and birds in its early years. Over the decades it expanded its collection and developed into a larger destination for animal viewing and education.
The zoo shares knowledge about wildlife protection and habitat conservation through educational programs and interactive stations that visitors can explore. You can see firsthand how the staff works to teach people about the needs of animals from around the globe.
Pathways guide you through different sections with viewing areas positioned near the animal habitats for easy observation. Food options and picnic spots are available on site, making it convenient to spend several hours exploring.
The location is undergoing major changes as a planned move to a new site is scheduled for the coming years. The new facility will be significantly larger and offer expanded space for the animal residents.
