Fun Facts

The Old L.A. Zoo, which opened in 1912, was a filming location for movies like 'Anchorman' and 'The Amazing Race.'

The zoo was abandoned in 1966 due to its outdated facilities and the opening of the new Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park.

Visitors can explore the eerie remnants of animal enclosures and cages, making it a popular spot for urban explorers and picnickers.

Many visitors claim to have experienced ghostly encounters, adding a spooky twist to its history.

Rumor has it that hidden tunnels were used for animal transport and maintenance, though few have been explored.
