Oakland Zoo, in the past known as the Knowland Zoo, is a 100-acre zoo located in southeastern Oakland. It is relatively small for a city of its size, but it contains modern exhibits. Most of its animals are kept in relatively "natural" habitats, and expanded natural habitats are planned. Its plans for the future include interactive exhibits, state of the art animal housing facilities and children's play areas. The Zoo is nationally known for its excellent elephant exhibit and has been praised for allowing their elephants to roam freely.
Admission fees: You have to pay a &10 fee to get into Knowland Park where the Zoo is and then the Zoo admission fee to get into the Zoo. They get you twice.
The new Gondola ride (Free) from near the Giraffe area to the new Cafe on top of the hill is up and running. Fantastic view of bay area from the Gondolas and the Cafe. There are no machines up there.
