Tucked within the sycamores and oaks of 477-acre Irvine Regional Park lies the OC Zoo. An ideal setting to exhibit animals native to the southwest, the OC Zoo features black bears, mountain lion, bald eagle and other animals that have been injured or are not releasable to the wild. The OC Zoo also features a childrens zoo with domestic goats, sheep, pigs and more. Come spend an afternoon visiting with some Orange County neighbors you dont see very often.
