Zoo rides are open Fridays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday/Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Santa Ana Zoo will be closed on 12/11/24 and 12/25/24.
The Santa Ana Zoo is also a botanical garden.
From the tropics to the desert, our gardens at the zoo are as diverse as the animals. As you wander, take time to smell the rosemary or the lemon-scented gum tree, see rubber plants and banana trees from the jungles of South America, and admire the giant bromeliads and Hong Kong orchids.
