Color photo of two Okapis with yellow lettering on a black background, "San Diego Zoo." Documents the founding of the Zoological Society of San Diego and the San Diego Zoo's early growth and development in San Diego's Balboa Park. The San Diego Zoological Garden is unique among most United States zoos in that it exhibits nearly all animal outdoors the year around. Admission costs one dollar for adults, but children up to 16 years and all San Diego City and County high school students with a valid I.D. card are admitted free. The guide includes the Children's Zoo, reptiles, mammals, and birds sections, as well as a section entitled History, Services and Membership. This section includes the zoo's dedication to children, insight to the Biological Research Institute and the Zoological Hospital, the unique setting at the zoo, the Zoo school, publication and membership, as well as information on how to give bequests to the zoo. Trained animal acts are presented in the Wegeforth Bowl, named for the Zoo's founder, every day throughout the year without charge. This edition includes a new fold-out map attached to the back cover by D. Wayne Millsap, and for the first time since the first guidebook's publication, the original Sketch Map of the San Diego Zoological Garden does not appear. This new map includes the original naming of the Canyons and Mesas A through G, and also introduces a new numerical legend which marks important points of interest such as restaurants, the guided bus tour, and souvenirs.
