Open 365 days a year, San Francisco Zoo & Gardens is home to more than 2000 exotic, endangered and rescued animals, representing more than 250 species, in 100 acres of majestic and peaceful gardens nestled against the Pacific Ocean. There’s a lot to see and do in this urban oasis including Asian and Black Rhinos, Giraffes, Big Cats, Apes and monkeys. In addition to lots of animals, we also have other entertainment for the whole family to enjoy including our historic steam train and carousel and uniquely themed play zone area that will ignite the imagination of children of all ages. The SF Zoo is proud to be accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
