Zoo

👍👍 Phenomenal experience for animal lovers of all ages! All of the animals are so gentle and were great with our kids. Lisa is so knowledgeable and clearly cares for the animals like family. I have never had a similar experience and that it is with such a variety of animals is really special.

Whittier Narrows Nature Center Associates

Nature preserve

👍👍 In November, I can't wait for the rain to bring this area back to life. The tall, dead plants indicate it once full of life. If you stop and listen, there are birds still hiding among the dead plants. In fact, they are still every where, along the river trails or the land trails. I came here to look...

George F Canyon Nature Center and Preserve

Nature preserve

👍 Beautiful short hike. About a mile up. Mostly flat except for the end where it get’s pretty steep. There were LOTS of bees. If you’re allergic to bees, this is not the hike for you. Otherwise, it’s very beautiful. Shady in some parts, and nice views of nature. Lots of poison oak/Ivy around too.

Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 This is in response to the reviewer who did not like the fact the beach is closed to dogs, yet chooses to ignore signage and break the law. This is called a "Wildlife Reserve" for a reason due to sensitive habit and nesting birds. There are plenty of other dog friendly beaches/dog parks to bring dog...

Tujunga Ponds Wildlife Sanctuary

Wildlife refuge

👍 Nice calm place with a party running around a small pond. Only complaint is the homeless bathing/drinking/living ect. The cleanup is coming along nicely. The construction crew is polite, always stopping when horses go by so they don't spook them, and never swearing.

California Wildlife Center

Wildlife refuge

🫤 I live in Lancaster. I found two baby California Scrub Jays and I didn't know what to do. They came right up to my door, so I couldn't ignore them. Their parents were extremely active, but I was still worried about the cats in my neighborhood. When I called the Wildlife Center, I was redirected beca...
