Santa Barbara Zoo
805-962-5339
How many zoos do you know where the giraffes get an ocean view? Not many, I’m sure. Set on the former estate of Lillian Child, the Santa Barbara Zoo boasts a prime slice of Montecito real estate and is now home to elephants, leopards and many other crowd-pleasing creatures. Rambling the pathways from one animal exhibit to the next is as much a walk in a park as it is a visit to the zoo.
