The Old LA ZOO??
Does anyone know the exact location where the old abandoned LA Zoo is?? Has anyone shoot there before?? Aug 13 09 12:18 am Link There's an old one..? When did they make the one in Griffith Park? Aug 13 09 12:22 am Link Aug 13 09 12:26 am Link I could point you to the old abandoned Marine Park in LA....except it appears you are two years too late. A great location for 20 years, but it appears they have finally cleared it out for development (I haven't been over that way in 4 or 5 years.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marineland_of_the_Pacific Though I'm thinking there might still be some cool shoot opportunities over there... Aug 13 09 12:37 am Link Well the current LA Zoo in Griffith Park has been there since the late 60's I think. So im not sure what your exactly looking for. Aug 13 09 03:00 am Link It was in Lincoln Heights... The Selig Zoo: http://www.lincolnheightsla.com/selig/ Some interesting history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selig_Polyscope_Company Paul Aug 13 09 03:06 am Link Has anyone shot at the old LA Zoo??

Aug 13 09 08:25 am Link you can find lots of areas to shoot, its usually not too busy there during the weekdays. I've done a couple shoots over there Aug 13 09 09:19 am Link do you need a permit to shoot at the old LA zoo? Jan 08 14 02:37 pm Link  park above the carousel and walk north a few hundred feet, shot there a heap of times, including nudes, without permit for trivia, thats where they set up the San Diego zoo set for Anchorman, for the panda scenes, i wandered around there while they were shooting and saw Will ( but didn't recognise him at the time) if you go to my website and into the portrait galleries, there's at least two shoots done there, Kellie, and Jessica Jan 08 14 08:54 pm Link Yes, there is an old LA Zoo. From 1912 to 1965. It's near the new Zoo. scroll down, and zoom in and read the sign on the first photo where is says Photos. https://plus.google.com/117671743621250 … l=us&hl=en You can walk around pretty easily. Jan 08 14 08:59 pm Link Here is a shoot from last week. Make sure you learn all you can about the rangers. http://www.meetup.com/portfolio/photos/ … d=19388062 Jan 08 14 09:39 pm Link The "Old LA Zoo "is above a tall hill farther than the carousel in Griffith Park. Jan 08 14 09:43 pm Link Old LA Zoo, Warning, Rated M. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26298103 Jan 08 14 09:49 pm Link Some poison oak / ivy in the area , also 1 or 2 x a day park ranger will pass through, if it looks commercial may challenge for permits or just ask you to leave. Most of the area is marked no trespassing, but in theory still public park , go figure ? A big concern is folks getting hurt, due to lack of any maintenance, then going after the city of LA for $$$$$ The list of TV / Movie stuff done there is huge, some cool old cages and holding areas , tends to be lots of broken glass / some homeless / drug use , engage sixth sense, keep very alert !

Jan 09 14 08:07 am Link It was, but what's a few years between friends?
