The City of Eureka, which is where we call home, is a port city located in Northern California. Our Old Town district is known for its elaborate Victorian-style houses. People also travel from all over the world to visit the nearby Sequoia Park Zoo, which includes 60 acres of redwood forests. The oldest zoo in California, the Sequoia Park Zoo houses multiple animal exhibits including pandas, primates, and a walk-through aviary with a variety of different bird species. The City of Eureka also features guided boat tours aboard an early-1900s Madaket Ferry that allows guests to take in the sights and observe wildlife such as seals and birds in the Humboldt Bay. After hours of walking throughout this beautiful zoo, you’ll work up an appetite so be sure to bring your whole family to our restaurant. We don’t mind if you smell like zoo animals. The wonderful aromas from our kitchen are sure to mask the smell.
