The old LA zoo is a fun place to take your kids or a date for a picnic. Parking is FREE, entry is FREE, you can picnic on the grass or use the park picnic benches. If you have kids there’s a huge park down the hill from the zoo area with public restrooms and brand new playground equipment too. There’s no bathrooms up near the zoo area, but the playgrounds bathrooms are only a 5 minute walk away.
