Fresno Chaffee Zoo

[Pepper]

We have the most awesome zoo here in Fresno. Voters passed a .1% sales tax to provide ongoing funding. As a result, the zoo has doubled in size and now has an African Adventure exhibit that covers 13+ acres of roaming space for elephants, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, etc. Another area has "Sea Lion Cove" where you can view the animals from on top or underwater. There are still all of the usual attractions, but the zoo is continuing to display animals in their native habitat with more room and a much more natural environment. I am proud that our community has stepped up to this challenge, and I look forward to seeing our zoo improve and grow over the years. I am taking my 15year old granddaughter tomorrow!
