Bay Area Kids' Fun | Riding the Mini Train at SF Zoo 🚂🐘

So jealous that **San Diego Zoo** has pandas now! 🐼💚 Heard **SF Zoo** might get pandas too, so we decided to check it out first~ We went on a **Friday**—not crowded, but **chilly and cloudy**. The animals seemed a bit lazy... 🦁 *No lions out*, many were napping, and the monkey area had fewer monkeys than **Happy Hollow**! 😂 The **stars of the show** were definitely the **giraffes & zebras** in the African zone—so exciting to see them in person! 🦒🦓 The **main attraction for us** was the **mini train**! 🚂💨 It goes pretty fast, does **two loops**, passes through a tunnel and some animal exhibits—great vibes! But... it costs **extra ($7/person)**. 💸 The zoo also has a **playground and carousel**, but our little one fell asleep before we could try them. 😴 Overall, the zoo feels **a bit dated**—we finished exploring in about **2 hours**. Maybe we'll come back when they get pandas! 🐾 **Ticket Prices** 🎟️ - **Ages 12+**: Weekdays $29 / Weekends $31 - **Ages 2-12**: Weekdays $20 / Weekends $22 - **‼️ Pro Tip**: **Happy Hollow members get 50% off**—just buy tickets on-site! We bought ours online first and realized too late... no refunds. 😅 #BayAreaKids #SFZoo #FamilyFun #ZooDay #WeekendVibes #WhereToGoThisWeekend
