This zoo is really great. The pens for the animals are very big. Having a two level zoo with the gondola is very cool. I really liked the grizzly bears and the bison. It’s a really great zoo. Full review by Flyingboy58

The Oakland Zoo has lower entrance. You must pay to park. There are picnic tables and a nice children's playground. I do not think you can reserve a table. If you choose to visit the Zoo the lower entrance has the children'szoo and petting farm. Do not miss the inside reptile room. There are two doors, one child size. The lower entrance showcases otters, giant tortoises, baboons, gibbons, alligators, bats and lemurs. No need to see everything for a birthday party. To recap. 1. Picnic on the grounds once inside the gates but not the zoo, 2. For kids stay low in the children's zoo and they will have great fun.
