Can I touch / hold / feed / take home any of the animals at the Zoo?
As exciting as it is to be in the presence of the beautiful animals at the Los Angeles Zoo, we do not allow visitors to interact with the majority of animal residents, for the safety of both the people and the animals. The Los Angeles Zoo does feature a special animal interaction area within the Winnick Family Foundation Children’s Zoo, with goats and other barnyard animals. You can also get up close with some of our smaller animals in our “Animals & You” presentations. These 15-minute long animal close-ups take place at stations in the Winnick Family Children’s Zoo on weekdays at 10:45 and 11:45 a.m. and weekends at 10:45 and 11:45 a.m., and 12: 45 p.m.
