- This zoo with a view was once a posh estate owned by a coffee and tea merchant; now it's the lush domain of animals representing 160 species. The pink stucco mansion that once presided over manicured lawns and gardens is gone—replaced by open-air habitats built for the less refined but still exacting tastes of giraffes, gibbons, snow leopards, and gorillas. What hasn't changed is the surrounding scenery; the Pacific and Santa Ynez Mountains are just as spectacular as they were back when this was the setting for civilized galas instead of the wild antics of monkeys and meerkats.This zoo with a view was once a posh estate owned by a coffee and tea merchant; now it's the lush domain of animals representing 160 species.

This is one of the most beautiful zoos I have seen. I love that the animals have so much space, and are very close up. The grounds them self are very well-maintained and landscaped.

Went here over the summer, great place, you c an feed giraffes and get everything done in less than a day. Kind of an issue with the bees and food is terrible.
