Santa Ana Zoo occupies Prentice Park and combines animal exhibits with an outdoor setting in the city.

Its educational focus connects visitors with wildlife and conservation, with primates among its longstanding specialties. The photograph shows scarlet ibis at the zoo rather than a general wildlife scene from another location.
Use the zoo's current visitor information to plan admission and the day's activities, and check separate arrangements for rides or special experiences. Allow time outdoors, bring sun protection, and follow staff guidance around animal areas. Exhibit access can vary with animal-care needs and ongoing projects.
