🦁 Fresno Chaffee Zoo – A Perfect Stop on Your California Road Trip!

While our main destination was Sequoia National Park 🏞️, we discovered this gem of a zoo on our way back to the Bay Area — and it was totally worth the stop! Spent a lovely morning here before heading home 🚗💨. Here’s why we recommend it: ✨ Very clean and well-maintained – no unpleasant smells, great management! 😌 Animal welfare first – The zookeepers emphasize that animals can choose to “work” (make appearances) or rest. No pressure — it’s all about letting them be happy and stress-free 🐾❤️. 🦒 Diverse animal collection – Giraffes, rhinos, elephants, tigers, leopards, sea lions… you name it! 🐘🦏🐅🌊 A fun, ethical, and family-friendly zoo that’s perfect for a half-day visit 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💫. #FresnoZoo #ChaffeeZoo #AnimalLovers #FamilyTrip #CaliforniaZoo #RoadTripStop #SequoiaNationalPark
