Happy Hollow Park & Zoo combines animal exhibits, play areas and family rides in San Jose.
Its compact mix of recreation and wildlife education makes it particularly suited to outings with younger children, with different activities spread around the landscaped grounds.
Check the current operating calendar and buy admission through the park. Parking is charged separately, and ride availability can vary throughout the day. Height, age and adult-escort requirements apply to individual rides. Use the current park map and follow staff instructions around animal habitats rather than expecting every attraction to operate continuously.
Visitor details reviewed October 27, 2026. Consult primary place information for background, and confirm current access and operating arrangements before visiting. View on OpenStreetMap.
