The San Francisco Zoo has many animals for people to see and learn about. The zoo features birds, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Visitors to the zoo can view lots of exhibits, but there is also a learning program for little kids to learn about the animals at the zoo. There are also summer and winter camps for young children that would like to learn more about different kinds of animals. Each part of the zoo has its own species.

For older children and adults, there are many beautiful exhibits and gardens. Native plants provide opportunities for beautiful pictures.

While plants are an intriguing draw for zoo visitors, the main purpose of a trip to this location is to see the animals, and there are several to see. Among the amphibians, there are six types of frogs and one salamander. There are almost 50 different kinds of birds and 40 different kinds of mammals, including some unusual ones as well as the most popular species: lions, elephants, giraffes, and more.

No San Francisco Zoo trip would be complete without a look at the bugs. They range from common to rare and some are even poisonous.

Visitors can get up close to many animals and even touch a few. It is a great way to become familiar with the world around us, without really leaving our backyard. A visit to the San Francisco Zoo is a great way to spend the day, with family or with friends.
