If you haven’t yet explored the old cages and stone caves of the abandoned Griffith Park Zoo , it’s time to pack your picnic and head to the SW corner of Griffith Park , just past the merry-go-round. Read more
Creepiness at its finest! The place is abandoned since mid 1960s of the last century! If you're a thrill seeker take the hike and explore all the old empty cages and the decaying structures . Boo!
It's fun to check out the old Zoo. It's even better when you pack a lunch & bring silly animal masks to take photos in. We bought our masks at Ozzie Dots for like $7
In 1912 The Griffith Park Zoo opened featuring 15 animals. It was enhanced and expanded in 1937 by the Federal Works Progress Administration. In 1966 the zoo closed and move to its current location.
It's interesting to see how the "zoo " was before. Makes you appreciate the current facilities animals have now and how far we still need to come.
Have a peek in the abandoned zoo . A bit creepy experience. Great photo opportunities .
Great area to watch an outdoor play or just have a picnic . It's very clean & the grass are well kept.
Cool place to walk around and check out the old cages .
One of my favorite easy hikes in LA! It's short & not very steep. Watch out if it's rainy because it will get muddy & slippery.
One of our favorite places to have a potluck picnic with all our friends! Just keep your drink cooler well-guarded and inconspicuous...
Explore the old habitats, get a great view of glendale. Neat part of the park
Cool place to look at but its so sad that animals lived in those conditions :(

Pretty cool place to check out. Not touristy at all!
Creepy and awesome. See movie screenings here.
A wonderful place to be creative - a little hard to find, but worth it!
Fantastically creepy , yet sad.
