Reviews
"We have been to OC Zoo in fair weather and on rainy days. It is wonderful either way. In the sunshine, keepers bring out residents like Artemis Owl and Ellie Hedgehog for an up close and personal visit. On rainy days, the big cats are more out and about in their habitats. And on any day, the covered exhibits are full of fun facts (plus phone accessible tour), and the peacocks are roaming. We loved getting to know some residents like the tortoise and the bear's stories. This rescue/rehab/sanctuary is a gem and we are so thankful it's nearby!"
"This is a tiny zoo but they have managed to make sure the animals have space. They have added the cat section which is amazing. They have leopards, mountain lions, and more. My kids loved the two bears they have but especially love the petting zoo."
"Small zoo but located at Irvine Regional Park, which gives you so many other activities to do. Really wished they had a gift shop. They dont have large animlas. Mainly small/babies. After the zoo went to the nature center for free. I will definitely come back with my 3 year old."
"Fun way to spend an hour with kids - smaller than many other zoos, but so was the price - it was perfect for our day! The hands on petting zoo, and the up close talks with guides were highlights!"
"Irvine Zoo is awesome for a family day out! We went with my daughter's school, and it was a blast. The zoo is small but super well-kept, so you can see everything in about an hour. Perfect for little kids who might get tired of walking around for too long. It only costs $2 to get in!! Super cheap and totally worth it. The best part was the petting zoo – the kids loved it. Easy for us parents to handle, and the whole place is just chill and fun. If you're heading to Irvine Regional Park, make sure to drop by the zoo. It's a cool spot for families. We had a great time, and we're definitely going back for more animal adventures!"
