What stands out

Note: Reservations are not required; tickets are sold online and in person. Getting there: the zoo's plan-your-visit page lists on-site parking at $15 on weekdays and $20 on weekends and holidays (free with a disabled placard, no in-and-out) without saying whether ZooLights evenings differ, and Muni's L Taraval line runs outbound to the zoo. Pets are not allowed; trained service animals are.
