When you're driving around the bend on Cabrillo Boulevard, look up -- you might spot the head of a giraffe poking through the palms. This zoo is an appealing, pint-size place, where all 700 animals can be seen in about 30 minutes. Most live in natural, open settings. There are also a children's Discovery Area, a miniature train ride, and a small carousel. The picnic areas (with barbecue pits) are underused and especially recommended.
