San Francisco Things To Do: Founded in 1929, the SF Zoo is one of the few attractions in the city located on the eastern shores of the Sunset District, easily accessible by Muni train. It covers 100 acres and is the oldest and largest zoo in Northern California.
Many exhibitions are small islands surrounded by a moat, giving visitors a view of animals free from the confines of a cage. The SF Zoo is home to 250 species including river otters, lions, cassowaries, lemurs, grizzlies, rhinoceros, and many more.
