Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is home to more than 2,000 animals from all over the world. Join us at the zoo and hang out with the monkeys, giant elephants, and 200 pound lions. These animals represent more than 350 species from around the world and they promise to impress the entire family. The newest members of the crew are the Red Kangaroos that have traveled to Riverbanks Zoo all the way from Australia. Observe the animals as they go about their daily routines in an environment identical to their natural habitat. If you time it correctly, you may even have a chance to feed the giraffe!
