4. Oakland Zoo

In the vast hills outside town, this award-winning Oakland Zoo, features more than 300 types of animals living in carefully-recreated natural habitats, easily making it one of the premier Oakland attractions. The African savannah exhibit is particularly popular, with African plants and a waterfall providing a home for meerkats, monkeys, and hyenas. Children are entertained in their own zoo and with a section of rides, including an old-fashioned carousel. When visiting the zoo in Oakland, enjoy the Sky Ride, which offers scenic panoramas of the bay and the surrounding hills.   (© 10Best)
