Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Pachyderm Forest

Majestic and imposing, the elephant is the largest land mammal in the world.

The Zoo is currently constructing a state-of-the-art elephant habitat exhibit for Asian elephants.

Reindeer Romp
November 27 - January 1

Free child admission with a paid adult!

With days growing shorter and the holiday season just around the corner, it's time to start getting into the spirit of the season!

Beginning Thanksgiving weekend and lasting into the New Year, reindeer will be paying the L.A. Zoo a visit. A flurry of festivities and holiday entertainment will accompany this popular annual event. Make your very own reindeer antlers and join the herd or pay a visit to Santa and friends (weekends only) for a photo opportunity (nominal fee).

All events except the Santa photos are free with paid Zoo admission.
