Gardens and Zoo attractions in Anaheim
East Anaheim Community Garden
8268 East Monte Vista Road, Anaheim, CA 92808
Santa Ana Zoo
1801 E Chestnut Ave, Santa Ana, CA 92701
While not the largest zoo in Southern California, it is a might zoo with an informed staff. It is also a zoo without major hills, so it is a simpler day at the zoo when compared to the LA Zoo or San Diego Zoo which require a lot more energy to get around. In addition to their array of animals at the Santa Ana Zoo, we highly recommend the train ride at the Santa Ana Zoo.
Sherman Library and Gardens
2647 East Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
Having visited gardens around the entire United States and Canada, I have to say that the Sherman Library and Gardens has one of the best utilizations of space around.
