| San Francisco Zoo in San Francisco |
|
There’s a lot to see in this urban oasis nestled against the Pacific Ocean. The Zoo is home to a stunning and important botanical collection as well as more than 250 species of animals, many of which are highly endangered. From the smallest insect to the tallest giraffe, you’re sure to find a story that touches and inspires you.
The San Francisco Zoo is Northern California’s oldest and largest zoological park and an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). It has an annual attendance of 925,000 people per year, making it one of the most visited recreational and cultural attractions in the Bay Area. Since its founding in 1929, the Zoo has served as an enduring tradition for Bay Area families for generations.
Located adjacent to the Pacific Ocean along the Great Highway, the 100-acre facility is managed and operated by the private, non-profit San Francisco Zoological Society in a unique partnership with the City and County of San Francisco. The Zoo is funded through gate admission fees, retail sales, membership dues, contributions, and support from the city.
Under the leadership of a 60-member board of directors and an executive director, the Zoo has an annual budget of $20 million and approximately 220 employees. The San Francisco Zoological Society has more than 25,000 household members, making it one of the top ten zoological societies in the United States.
