On community days admission is $10, which makes it a good day for families with several children or for a first zoo visit with toddlers. Expect bigger crowds than a usual winter weekday, so arrive early and plan on street or park parking around Land Park. ## Similar picks in Sacramento - [Sacramento Ballet: Sensory Friendly Nutcracker](https://grassyknees.com/sacramento/activities/sacramento-ballet-sensory-friendly-nutcracker--listing-e0b3a925b9d3bdae2e346fdc) — Wed, Dec 16 · 1:00 PM · SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 14.
