It’s located in the Irvine Regional Park, which is a beautiful park with trees, a lake and walking paths. There are also picnic areas, train and pony rides. A story time is offered on this day at 12:30pm where the kids can "learn more about animals and enjoy storytelling under the oak trees."(included with zoo admission) Admission is $2 for ages 3+. Parking $3 per car/weekdays ($5/weekends and higher on Holidays). Train and pony rides are extra. Park hours are 10am-3:30pm. www.ocparks.com/oczoo
