Nestled within Kelley Park in San Jose, Happy Hollow Park and Zoo has been a beloved destination for family fun, education, and adventure since 1961. This delightful spot offers a haven for children, particularly those aged 2 to 10, where they can explore, learn, and play in a safe and imaginative environment. From whimsical play areas to enchanting puppet shows, the park is a wonderland for little ones.
Daily animal meet-and-greets provide an up-close encounter with wildlife, sparking curiosity and wonder. Kids can leap and play like lemurs on the playground, get hands-on with friendly goats through brushing and feeding, or explore the fascinating Doc’s Critter Care building and the Ranch House. At Double-H Ranch, discover a captivating mix of animal exhibits featuring giant anteaters, red ruffed lemurs, and a variety of gentle farm animals like chickens that are perfect for petting.
The park's charm extends beyond its attractions. Its lush greenery and well-maintained trails offer a serene backdrop for a family picnic or a leisurely stroll. Plus, the special events and birthday areas make it an ideal spot for celebrating milestones with a sprinkle of outdoor magic. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Happy Hollow Park and Zoo is a must-visit for creating unforgettable family memories.
