Santa Barbara Zoo, Oceanfront zoo in Santa Barbara, United States.
The Santa Barbara Zoo stretches across 30 acres of land with habitats for 146 species of animals overlooking both the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains.
The Santa Barbara Zoo opened its doors in 1963 on the former estate of the Child family, who donated their property to create a space for wildlife education.

The zoo welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 25 dollars and children aged 2-12 at 15 dollars.
