Their web sites says "Who are we! Open since 2001, the Hesperia Zoo is home to native, rare and endangered species from six continents. Our goal is to provide a fun, unique and exciting experience for the whole family. With an overall mission to bring people and wildlife together to have a powerful bond!"  They had asked us to add them to list "Things to do Within 100 Miles of Barstow" so we decided to go check the place out.

They had plenty of animals to see and they take everybody on a guided walking tour. Many of the animals are used in film shoots. We went during the winter so were the only people there on our tour. When we were done there were a number of people for the next tour so we got lucky.

The guided tours take about an hour. Click this link for their web site. Now if I just could have gotten some of these photos without a fence in the way <grin>.
