Your ticket in also gets you a trip on the sky ride which shows you the zoo from above! Very cool!! :) I... more

This place is incredible! You need the whole day if not more to see everything. We loved how you could get close to the animals. Many were behind glass instead of in cages with additional fences blocking your view. They have a guided bus ride which is worth the trip. Check out special times for shows, visits with the zookeeper... more

It is a fun filled day with attractions around every corner. Take the bus tour to get an overview of the park, no charge. And end the day with a tram ride to see the park overview. In between just walk and have fun. My persoanl favorites were the hippos-underwater view- and the pandas, but the whole park is a... more

The San Diego Zoo has recently unveiled a new jewel...the Elephant Odyssey. Spending in excess of $44 million dollars, the zoo spared no expense making this a wonderfully engaging and educational attraction.

This zoo was very kid friendly and the employees were very helpful to us when we were looking for various animals. The zoo was clean and the map of the zoo was use friendly. Would definitely return with the grandchildren. more

This zoo was very good, but be prepared for a lot of walking and hills that are difficult for strollers/wheelchairs. It was cheaper to buy a 2 day pass from AAA than to buy a 1 day pass at the SD Zoo ticket booth. I must say though, this was the WORST food! Seriously. Why not have regular sandwiches, hamburgers,... more

The plant life is as diverse and beautiful as the animals and makes for a really enjoyable walk. more

The Zoo's pandas, giraffes and lion are the must sees at the Zoo. The male lion will sit and pose for hours as if he knows he is the King. Buy the ticket for the two parks - the Wild Animal Park is a much more natural experience with the animals in their wild habitat - like a safari on... more
