“Oakland Zoo is a non-profit organization dedicated to wildlife conservation both locally and globally. Founded in 1922, the zoo is operated by the Conservation Society of California and is located in the Grass Valley neighborhood of Oakland. Home to more than 750 native and exotic species, the zoo is renowned for its exceptional animal care, particularly its elephant care program. The California Trail, a significant expansion, highlights California’s past and present native wildlife while continuing the zoo’s mission of animal care, education, and conservation. Oakland Zoo provides naturalistic and enriched habitats that encourage animals to exhibit behaviors typical of their species. The zoo’s gift shop offers stroller and wheelchair rentals for visitor convenience. Oakland Zoo provides free admission for visitors aged 76 and over, as well as children under 2.”
