I wish I could explore it but I'm in Utah and not so cool to explore but it's cool

This evening. I was doing my walk. Around the old zoo. When i see four adults. And a mother with a baby on the stroller . Doing graffiti on the old zoo caves. At the time that i seen that i did not feel safe. We need more police at that park. For sure i will not return for a while .

I remember this place when I was a kid. I still have old 8mm movie film our family took when we came to the old zoo back in the early 1960's. I just wish the city of Los Angeles would preserve this piece of city history.

By the way I'm a YouTuber

Cool I'm only like one state away and I drove past it but On a different road

The old remnants of the zoo that once was.

It's nice to see a closed zoo and walk threw, but there's actually not a lot to see. Maybe a nice stop if you're driving by

It's very seldom for a place that is very different from literally everywhere else and this is one of those places. You are able to go into the enclosures and cages where animals once lived. It's a nice, clean spot where you have many golden opportunities for photography. The parking lot has ample parking and you'll just head up the stairs or the ramp up to the park!

And as a general rule, still try to come at golden hour as the light is not too harsh. The best areas for photography and shoots are the enclosures and cages which is on the same walkway. No need to venture into the trail because you'll come to a open small building with some graffiti and then you have another cage which is not photogenic as the other areas. Also there is no shade besides inside the enclosures so be careful when it's really hot! Be aware of needles, broken glass and areas that smell like pee.
