Charles Paddock Zoo, Atascadero

Such a cute little zoo. Took my son for his birthday and he loved it! It’s definitely the perfect size to get a toddler tired. I have been coming here since I was younger and it has changed in many ways. Love the red panda exhibit. Adult admission was reasonable for the size of this zoo. Theres plenty of parking and a near by park.

A very well run, relatively small zoo. You can get through the whole thing in less than an hour. They have animals that you don't see in most other zoos and the workers are very knowledgeable and ready to answer questions and excite kids! Great way to use an hour in the fresh air and bright sunshine!
