We
love
this
zoo!
We
visit
from
Corona,
CA,
just
about
every
year
as
we
stay
in
Ventura
at
our
family's
timeshare.
It's
small
enough
not
to
be
tiring
and
take
all
day,
but
has
a
great
variety
of
animals
and
exhibits.
You
currently
need
to
make
reservations
ahead
of
time,
but
it's
super
easy
to
do
online
and
you
can
just
show
the
codes
on
your
phone-
no
need
for
a
printer.
We
haven't
had
any
issues
buying
tickets
the
last
2
times
we've
visited
under
these
new
terms.
They've
opened
an
Australian
Walkabout
encounter
where
you
get
to
walk
into
an
open
animal
exhibit
with
kangaroo,
wallaby
&
emu.
You
can't
touch
them,
obviously,
but
it's
neat
to
be
at
their
level
walking
around
them.
There's
a
kid
play
zone
to
let
the
kids
burn
off
some
energy
while
the
adults
relax
a
bit.
Equipped
with
sandbox,
egg
features
to
play/climb
on,
musical
instrument
installations,
sliding/sledding
hill,
and
cargo
net
spider
web.
Something
new
they've
added
is
a
trading
card
feature
inside
the
gorilla
observation
post.
You
go
here
to
pick
an
animal
to
learn
more
about.
Grab
a
sheet
and
pencil,
find
the
animal
on
your
sheet
at
the
zoo
&
answer
some
questions
about
it.
Once
it's
filled
in,
take
it
to
the
front
gate
and
you
get
a
trading
card
of
that
animal.
