The first time I went to LA I made an attempt to find the abandoned zoo but it was rather hard to find. Then the second time I went to LA I actually brought my Jeep so it was easy to maneuver through the hills and find it. One thing that I was not expecting was the layout of the zoo, which has little cages set up along a dirt road where the animals would stay. While walking in on the path you will eventually loop around and be back at the start of the trail. There wasn't one big building that held all the animals but it was still a cool experience to find.
