Small, historic desert zoo offering close-up animal portraits, aviary and primate action, landscaped paths and shade trees — ideal for intimate wildlife and portrait-style shots. Visit early morning (feeding times) or late afternoon for softer light and active animals. Weekdays are quieter. Small admission fee, onsite parking, mostly wheelchair-accessible paths. Light is harsh midday because of the desert; bring sun protection and water.
