Oakland Zoo

Oakland Zoo is home to over 750 species of animals from the Colorado River Toad and Brazilian Black Tarantula to the American Bison and Grizzly Bear. The zoo is a perfect family adventure for a day trip in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2018, the Oakland Zoo opened the California Trail, a stunning gondola ride up to 8 new animal habitats where you can walk past wolves, black bears, mountain lions, eagles and California Condors. Also at the top of the California Trail is The Landing Cafe (which has excellent food) and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay.
