Does anyone know if we can take lunch into the zoo, or if there is a picnic area somewhere nearby?
Looks like they encourage picnicking: http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/visitor_information
Yes you can picnic at the SB Zoo. There are large grassy areas and also a play area which would be great spots to picnic. The beach is very close to the beach so that is an option as well.
Thanks, we went last Friday and it was great! The play area has been remodeled since our last trip. My kids loved sliding down the AstroTurf hill on a piece of cardboard. We had a great day, then headed to the mall and Apple Store. Friday night on State Street was a wild experience!
