The Los ANgeles ZOo seems to always be under construction, but I have no doubt that it will be truly amazing when finished! THere are a lot of animals to see here and the gorilla exhibit is awesome to spend some time at. They have a really great kids discovery area when you first enter the zoo. All the way in the back is the playground, where the kids can let off some steam. We usually pick one or two animals a visit to "study." Membership here is a great deal, I would recommend it if you are going to go more than twice a year!
