Topics zoo, animals, wildlife, conservation, education

Known as one of the world's most beautiful zoos, the Santa Barbara Zoo is located on 30 acres of lush botanic gardens overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and is dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and enhancement of the natural world and its living treasures through education, research, and recreation. Santa Barbara Zoo is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and depends on the support of the community, not tax dollars, for operations and improvements. The Zoo is an accredited institution of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), and works together with other AZA-accredited partner zoos and aquariums to save and sustain the planet’s wildlife by caring for endangered and threatened species. The Zoo is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM (closing times may vary due to events).
