    This is a very small zoo! We came here to go on the skywalk and since it was included in the entrance to the zoo, we decided to walk around and see the exhibits they offered. You can probably go thru the zoo in less than an hour. They have flamingos, birds, monkeys and a bear exhibit. They have a good size souvenir shop and there's a food shop as well! They have clean restrooms and customer service was super nice! Quick and fun visit!

    Eureka's Fun Size Zoo [Eureka CA] This is a smaller intimate zoo located in Eureka. To my understanding it is one of the smallest accredited zoos in the country, not to mention the oldest zoo in the state! The zoo is clean, spacious and well maintained. It was nice walking around since it was a smaller venue. The animal exhibits featured a range of species from various habitats. We enjoyed seeing the different creatures and since the zoo was small, it was easy to navigate around, the exhibits were in close proximity to each other, allowing us to efficiently see all the animals in one visit. My absolute favorite were the Chilean flamingoes... I think flamingos are such pretty amazing birds, the river otters were fun to watch too. Sadly, there are no more red pandas. There is a small cafeteria inside the park offering burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads and sides. Admission price included the Redwood Sky Walk experience (separate Yelp check-in) and may be purchased at the Zoo ticket booth on the day of your visit. We spent about 2-1/2 hours inside the park. Even though the zoo was small I still enjoyed it and what it had to offer. Instagram: @sequoiaparkzoo Review #3769

    Highly recommend this zoo! It was very small and quaint but the animals that were there seemed very happy and at peace. The Redwood Sky Walk was also amazing and the views from the trees were so beautiful. If you have EBT the tickets are only $4!

    It's been months since we visited but here's a review anyway. I was dissapointed that the zoo was smaller than I anticipated. It took us an hour and 30 minutes to finish our visit. That's including the Skywalk. I was impressed watching Sumo, the only red panda left among its kin, having a bamboo lunch served by his zookeeper. This was our first time seeing this species. The flamboyance of flamingos and the roughhousing orphan bears were our points during that day. The giftshop was underwhelming but it did house the zoo's other notable critters Despite the flaws, it was still a feat having visited California's oldest and one of the USA's smallest accredited zoo.

    This is a small, well kept and card for zoo. There is a beautiful sky bridge through some red wood trees. It's mostly shady and the gift shop is quite small - a plus in my book because it's not overwhelming. The red panda was not on display because its habitat was being upgraded, but a staff member allowed me to glimpse through a window to where the red panda is being kept and sure enough! He was there!

    Maybe I'm not quite in the swing still of pricing in 2024 (ha! It's November!) because EVERYTHING just seems so expensive---everywhere all the time!!! So, it seemed a little $$ to us. - tiny, shoddy zoo with very few animals + beautiful, terrific, fabulous skywalk in the redwoods--- pink flamingos All in all it's a nice 2 hours.

    If only they had actual housecats on site, LOL

    This is apparently the oldest zoo in California, which makes me embarrassed that I didn't know this. No, it isn't particularly huge, and I wish the cost was a bit less, but what they do have is outstanding, particularly the otters and the Redwood Tree Walk - I went here on a wet day without a lot of people around, and it was rather relaxing, making me think about what is really important in life.

    I love this zoo so much. It's the perfect size - I can see everything or just what I want each time (Psst: the annual pass is the way to go if you live in the area and an even better deal if you're a wise senior like myself!) The walkway is a great way you can get a bird's eye view of the zoo's inhabitants.

    We came here as a group of 10, 6 kids 12 and under and 4 adults. We had such a good time at this place. The sky bridge was a lot of fun to walk on. The kids really enjoyed being up high. We had a great experience with one of your workers, Finley, I believe her name was. You could tell that she really enjoyed answering any questions that the kids or adults had and that she was very knowledgeable and all around loved the animals. She definitely looked out for their safety. Animal lover for sure.

    The zoo has improved a lot since we were kids. The best part is the redwood skywalk, which provides a beautiful view of the redwood trees and some animals, including bears and their cute cubs. It doesn't have as many animals as the San Francisco Zoo, but it's a great place for kids and adults in our small town. There's a food court and gift shop with lots of fun souvenirs. The admission prices are pretty high, but it's worth it if you're from out of town and want to experience a beautiful walk among the redwood trees.

    Whenever I visit a new city, I love to check out their local zoo or aquarium. Mostly because I am an animal lover and it makes for a nice relaxing day after a long flight or drive. Sequoia Park Zoo isn't very large, but still has a variety of species on hand (over 50). This was my first visit to Eureka and the first attraction I visited after I landed. Sequoia Park Zoo was established in 1907 and is California's oldest zoo. While here I saw spider monkeys, flamingos, snakes, red pandas, and river otters. I really enjoyed walking through the free-flight aviary where they had a number of colorful birds hanging out. They also have a barnyard area where you can pet and interact with many of the animals. The kids that I observed there were really enjoying themselves. My favorite animal in the barnyard was the domestic pig and the grunts that he was making. I love how this zoo incorporates the coast redwood forest. My favorite part of the day was walking on the Redwood Sky Walk. There was so much to explore there. The Sky Walk is the longest sky walk in the western United States at a quarter of a mile to the end and back. It is 100 feet above the ground and allows you to get up and close to the redwood trees. Overall, I had a nice afternoon walking around here. I felt the admission price was reasonable. There is a gift shop and a cafe on hand for food. Sequoia Park Zoo also offers an annual membership that includes discounts and invitations to special events.

People come from all over the world to experience this, I'm fortunate enough it's my "backyard" so to speak. The amount of science and engineering that went into making this is next level. (So is the upkeep which is so interesting to watch if you happen to be there when routine maintenance is needed) Several feet above the forest floor you get a perspective unlike anything else Ive taken siblings, cousins, friends and their kids, and honestly anyone who wants to come with me I love the zoo, I love the skywalk.

We are AZA members so when showing our membership we got in for half price. The Redwood Sky walk is located in the back left side of the zoo, it is a self guided tour. The skywalk slowly increases over 100 ft above the beautiful forest floor below and is about a 1/4 mile walk. I am afraid of heights, but felt safe walking along the trail. Most of the walk is over the park nextdoor to the zoo, as you are looking down from high above and you can see tiny people & dogs walking the trails below it was so cool. We could also see the bears in the zoo from high up in the trees, we had a better view of them than could see them below on the zoo trail. Be sure to look up at the majestic redwood trees along the trail, and when on the platforms you can touch the redwoods, and learn alittle about them with the information boards. It was an amazing experience, being so high up in the Redwood trees. It was Breathtaking and beautiful. I felt safe walking the trail as they had guardrails that go along the trail and was pretty good width across for people to walk by. People who are nervous of the wooden suspension bridges that move when others walking on them can walk about half way through trail before reaching these bridges and walk back the way they came. We will always remember this trip to Eureka, and cannot wait to bring our granddaughter here next time. Enjoy your adventure!
