A nice zoo
The Sacramento Zoo (Sacramento) opened in June 1927 with a variety of animals from farms in the area. It was home to a diverse collection of 40 animals that included monkeys, raccoons, birds, deer and various small animals. In 1960, the zoo was expanded to the current 14.3 acres and habitats have been built new in almost every area of the zoo. During the 1980's, it began to offer a new experience for visitors by making new protective enclosures by replacing the iron bars and cages with moats for the larger animals and more natural habitats.
