Abandoned LA Zoo Adventure

Danny & I in one of the more traditional cages.

Last week, my best friend Danny and I decided to go on an adventure in search of the somewhat hidden ABANDONED LA ZOO. I saw a video of this place and decided  I needed to find it and make my own video. Located at Griffith Park (less than a quarter mile from the location of the current LA Zoo) this abandoned zoo features a number of old cages and exhibits that once hosted a great variety of animals. I'm told monkeys, lions, bears and various reptiles were exhibited here.


So I Yelped directions on how to find this place and turns out they didn't really help at all. My advice to anyone planning to visit the Abandoned Zoo... just make your way to the parking lot above the Merry-Go-Round and ask one of the Park Rangers to point you in the right direction. That's what we did. It's a pretty short uphill hike. If it feels like you're going the wrong way, odds are, you're not. Just keep going. I know those are pretty lame instructions but trust me, just go and you'll find it eventually.

Me doing my jumping lion impression. Fierce. Danny hanging around like a monkey... a cashmere-wearing monkey.

Check out the video I put together from the day and tell me if you're sold on it. If you're not, then have fun being boring.
