Santa Barbara Zoo

The Ridley-Tree House Restaurant serves delicious grilled items, sandwiches, salads, and other tasty delights. Relax in our garden courtyard while you eat. Hot food is served until 4:30 p.m.
Have a unique holiday experience at the Zoo and get your picture taken with a “wild animal� (costumed character): Louie the Lemur, Gabby Gorilla, or one of our other friendly critters. For a small donation, you'll get your photo (or your kids’) in a festive holiday card frame.
You’ll also have the opportunity to decorate a burlap stocking to be hung near the animals with care to wish seasons’ greetings to your favorite Zoo resident. All proceeds directly benefit the Santa Barbara Zoo Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers, an organization dedicated to conservation and education. We look forward to seeing you this holiday season!
