WHERE IS ZOOMARS?
ZOOMARS is located near the coast midway between Los Angeles
and San Diego in San Juan Capistrano. Depending on which
direction you’re coming from, below are the easiest
ways to get there.
You can also click the link below for turn-by-turn instructions
from exactly where you’re starting out. There is a
public parking lot on Los Rios Street one house over from
us.
DIRECTIONS FROM MY STARTING POINT
COMING FROM THE NORTH
Take the 5 FREEWAY SOUTH and exit at ORTEGA HIGHWAY. At the
end of the offramp, turn right on ORTEGA. Immediately turn
left at the first traffic light onto DEL OBISPO. Follow
DEL OBISPO as it curves around and go straight through
the intersection at CAMINO CAPISTRANO. Once you pass over
the railroad tracks turn right at the first light which
is PASEO ADELANTO. The ZOOMARS parking lot is on the right
hand side just past the Ito Nursery. You can also continue
around the corner onto Ramos Street and turn right on Los
Rios. Up ahead on the right is a public parking lot.

ALTERNATIVE DIRECTIONS FOR MORE PUBLIC PARKING
After exiting the 5 FREEWAY, stay straight on ORTEGA until
you reach CAMINO CAPISTRANO. (You’ll see the Trading
Post straight ahead and the Mission to your right.) Turn
left on CAMINO CAPISTANO and make an immediate right at
the first street you come to which is VERDUGO. At the end
of VERDUGO turn left into the FREE PARKING GARAGE or right

GENERAL INFORMATION
FEEDING REGULATIONS
Only food sold as “animal feed” may be fed to
the animals at ZOOMARS. No outside food can be given. Feeding
animals candy or certain types of human foods can seriously
hurt or even kill them. Aside from what they receive from our
visitors, the animals are also provided with species-specific
diets to insure a healthy life.
REFRESHMENTS
Sodas, juices, water and snacks are sold in our gift shop.
PETS
To safeguard the health of our animals and prevent them from
being frightened or bit, dogs and other pets are not permitted
inside the zoo.
STROLLERS
Stroller parking is available near the front gate.
REST ROOMS
Until permanent rest rooms are built, visitors will be directed
to the public bathrooms at the train station or the port-a-potty
facility located in the ZOOMARS parking lot.
LOST AND FOUND
Lost articles can be inquired about at the front entrance.
LOST CHILDREN
Parents or guardians who become separated from their youngsters
should go to the front desk or main office so that all zoo
personnel can be notified.
SAFETY FIRST
During your visit to ZOOMARS, please remember that you are
interacting with animals; they are generally tame and friendly,
but they can still scratch and bite should they get frightened,
excited or starteled. Accidents should be reported to a zookeeper
immediately so that the proper attention can be given. First
aid kits are kept at both the entrance gate and the ZOOMARS
office.
SMOKING
For the safety of our animals, and as a courtesy to non-smoking
guests, ZOOMARS is a smoke-free environment.
HELP KEEP THE PETTING ZOO CLEAN
Waste receptacles are placed at convenient locations throughout
the grounds. Please help us maintain a clean environment by
putting litter in its place.
