Introduction
Happy Hollow Park and Zoo is located inside Kelley Park in San Jose, California, a small combined zoo and amusement park designed for young children and families. Opened in 1961 and extensively renovated in 2010, it houses about 150 animals, including jaguars, red pandas, lemurs, and rare ring-tailed lemurs, with a strong focus on conservation and education. Rides include a junior roller coaster, carousel, frog hopper, and mini Ferris wheel, suited to children aged 2-12. A puppet theater and contact farm let children feed domestic animals. Shaded by trees and warmly welcoming, it is a classic family destination for San Jose locals on weekends and holidays.
