Oakland Zoo is a non-profit organization, managed by the East Bay Zoological Society. Founded in 1922 by Henry Snow, the Zoo has been located in its current Knowland Park location since 1936. Nestled in the rolling hills of 525-acre Knowland Park, the Zoo is located at 9777 Golf Links Rd., Oakland off Highway 580, and is home to more than 750native and exotic animals.

There is so much to explore at the Oakland Zoo. Maybe you want to visit a particular animal or play in the Children's Zoo. Perhaps you want to buy a snack from the Café and eat in the Meadow.
