About this place

A zoo in Santa Ana offering animals to see, rides for children, and a seasonal flight experience. Families can spend a few hours exploring the grounds, with various attractions opening at different times throughout the week. Rides operate on limited schedules, with more availability on weekends. Local residents get free entry on the third Sunday of each month with a photo ID. The zoo has been part of the community since 1952.

If you are a member here

A membership to Santa Ana Zoo carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
