Alameda Park & Zoo

Said to be the oldest zoo west of the Mississippi, established in 1898, this small but well-run place features exotics from around the world. Assuming both you and they are in the mood to brave the heat, you may see a cougar, bald eagles, alligators or the endangered Mexican gray wolf.
