Americas Travel: A Photo Journal of Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanical Gardens, California, USA

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In this post we share photos from Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanical Gardens, California, USA.

This 30 acre space overlooks the Pacific Ocean, Andree Clark Bird Refuge, and Santa Ynez Mountains and is only a few miles from downtown Santa Barbara’s State Street.

From its beginnings in 1935 as an estate with landscaped gardens, the property has transformed into a self-policed community, then a park, and now it exists in its current state as the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens, a public space estate for children, with animals, gardens, and play areas.
