About the San Francisco Zoo:
The San Francisco Zoo is a popular San Francisco Attraction, and it is not to be missed by any animal lover. This Zoo features nearly 2 dozen exhibits, special events, and supports many conservation efforts to help secure the lives and natural habitats of wild animals.
Covering about 100 acres, the San Francisco Zoo is home to more than 1,000 animals representing 250 species. According the Zoo’s website, “The San Francisco Zoo is designed with the underlying belief that nature-focused interaction leads to conservation action. Learning about animals here inspires visitors to care for all wildlife.”
