Dentzel Carousel

 Our historic, restored 1921 Dentzel Carousel is located near the Fisher Family Children’s Zoo. This unique merry-go-round delights kids of all ages as they choose to ride a horse, a cat, a rabbit, or even a giraffe without considering the weather condition.

Tickets are $ 4 per person.

Adults may ride free when standing by a paid child.

Elinor Friend Playground

The newly repaired Elinor Friend Playground lights the imagination of children who is not beyond 12. This unique space is modeled after three distinct bio-regions, which take their themes from specific ecosystems and appeal to distinct age groups: a River Play Area for toddlers (6 months—2 years), a Polar Zone exploration space for pre-schoolers (2—5 years), and a Banyan Tree climbing structure for pre-teens (5—12 years).

Tickets are $ 7 per person (Free with zoo admission).

Adults pay zoo admission.

Little Puffer Miniature Steam Train

Add a ride on the historic Little Puffer miniature steam train to your visit to the San Francisco Zoo. Like generations before you, you’ll make wonderful childhood memories for your kids. Little Putter does not run in wet weather due to slippery tracks, and is closed at a regular time period for repair. Call the Zoo before your visit.

Tickets are $ 7 per person.

Children under 3 may ride free (ticket required) when accompanied by a paid adult.

(A special passenger car on the Little Puffer miniature steam train is designed to hold a wheelchair)

Zoo Keys

The ever-popular storybooks have returned to the Zoo, activated by the beloved, plastic animal keys that have become nostalgic icons to visitors from years past. At Storybook sites around the Zoo, visitors can listen to recordings of stories in different languages and fun facts about the animals in all kinds of weather conditions. You can purchase your Zoo Key at the Admissions Gate or in the Membership Office or online.

Zoo Keys are $ 5 each.

Children under 1 may ride free when accompanied by a paid adult.
