This is such a nice alternative to the zoo or a big museum. Although I hate seeing animals in captivity, the animals here seem like they're treated well (plus, I don't think they directly take them out of the wild. I think they just find injured animals and nurse them back to health). They also have great volunteering opportunities. The kids and toddlers seem to have a great time! It's a nice atmosphere and it's great because most (i think all) of the animals are bay area "natives".
