You’re freaking awesome. I was born and raised in riverside CA, I’m 31 now and finally about to go to this zoo for the first time!! Thanks for your tour ✨💚 I was wondering, (I know you posted this a while ago) but did you need to pay extra for anything, or was anything extra offered?

[@BigRedJourneys]

Well thank you very much!! You will love the zoo! The admission price includes all elements of the zoo minus the rides which are an additional cost. The train and ferris wheel is $6 and the carousel is $3.

Love the Darla clip. 😂 “I’m a piranha. I’m from the Amazon.”

It’s the cherry on top of this video sundae.

That was a cute zoo, it was fun to explore it with you!

[@BigRedJourneys]

Thank you! It’s a small but very fun zoo. A good few hours spent there is a blast. You should def put it on your to do list if you’re ever in that area.

@@BigRedJourneys i still need to google where santa ana is but if ever in the area, i will definitely check it out :) I’m not too familiar with cali even though I’ve been to the state several times. It’s just so huge!

@@kamahina943 To give you some directional context, I live in San Diego which is the furthest south city just on the other side of the US/Mexico Border. Santa Ana is about 80 minutes north on the 5 freeway and about 15 minutes south of Disneyland which is in Anaheim.

Love the hat

[@BigRedJourneys]

Thank you! I always try to decorate my hat whenever I go to a zoo or nature place. Adds a little bit of extra fun to my videos!

[@Icy_Pumpkin]

Are there a lot more animals than you showed on camera? I wonder how much there is to look at

[@BigRedJourneys]

I would say I showed about 70-75% of the animals. There was a section that was under construction that was to be a new exhibit area with animals.

[@Icy_Pumpkin]

@@BigRedJourneys oh nice well it was a lot still I am thinking about going after your tour video it seems like a nice little zoo Was the petting zoo part a lot or just a bit

[@bryanguerra2897]

I used to go there when I was a kid

[@BigRedJourneys]

It’s a fun zoo!! I plan to go back soon since tits been a while since

[@beautifullvega]

Is doofy the black swan still alive ?

[@BigRedJourneys]

Unfortunately I don’t know. I don’t remember seeing a black swan on my trip but it’s probably worth sending them a message on Instagram to find out

[@beautifullvega]

@@BigRedJourneys thank you ❤️

[@Nissanghmohanbabu]

Can you please do another zoo tour?

[@BigRedJourneys]

Would you like another tour of the Santa Ana zoo or a different zoo?

[@Nissanghmohanbabu]

@@BigRedJourneys I would like you to tour the Oakland Zoo.

[@Nissanghmohanbabu]

This connects to my reply about a different zoo tour.

[@BigRedJourneys]

@@Nissanghmohanbabu I will certainly put that on my list. I probably won’t be making it to Northern California for a while but you should certainly expect to see some other zoo videos from me in the near future

[@NoSpillsChills]

How long is the walk thru usually

[@BigRedJourneys]

That truly depends on what you and your family are trying to accomplish. It’s a smaller zoo and if you just look at each animal briefly then you can easily get it done within 2-3 hours. If you want to add any rides or see the animal presentation than add another hour. And if you want to take your time, read each sign and stay at every animal enclosure for a moment then it would take u probably 4-5 hours. In short u can probably spend half or full day there and honestly you only need 1 day in total to see everything.
