Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near San Diego

Thomas M. • February 24, 2017Been to the SD zoo dozens of times over the last 50 years. Always amazing, the zoo is constantly upgrading exhibits. Arguably one of the top five zoos in the world!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011We received our 1st koalas as a gift from Australia in 1925. These fuzzy marsupials are not bears, and not as cuddly as you think. They're actually independent, feisty, and often grumpy.

Beatriz A. • March 3, 2016Excellent to take a pic!

Sean M. • August 27, 2023One of my favorite parts of the zoo

Brad H. • August 15, 2016GREAT!! Really worth the time, DON'T MISS IT!! So educational, lot's of history, so much to see. Be sure to take the tour, you'll get a lot more info that way. Allow at least 2 hrs, more if you can 👍

Paul F. • January 1, 2013Two new baby giraffes! Robert and Makali! Also here: Silver, Nicky, Harriet, and Bahati.

Victor M. • March 17, 2019We love it!!!

Emily T. • December 29, 2018Food and atmosphere are great! We came too early for the free live music in the bar/restaurant but can’t wait to go back again, for more amazing drinks and southern food. You should definitely Go!!!

Miriam G. • August 13, 2014The hippos both hang out together in the armpit of the underwater section of the enclosure. Great for a selfie with the beast!

Mike B. • October 1, 2014Great sight line. Friendly staff. 🐘

Doug M. • October 28, 2010If you don't mind the walk, try parking a fee blocks away on surface streets. It's a nice walk and you save $10.00 on parking!

Clay E. • November 4, 2013Great course. Always changing to keep you on your toes.

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Tigers each have their own unique stripe pattern, like our fingerprints. A tiger’s claws can be up to five inches long, and they use them to mark their territory with scratches on trees.

Cherie D. • July 20, 2010Bring a push cart, the art, hand-made clothing, blown-glass and woodwork was phenomenal. I highly recommend this center full of artisans.

Chacho H. • November 15, 2011Amazing jewelry, great art books (some say the best selection in San Diego), and a superb gift selection. Not a bad place to drop some cash.

San Diego Zoo • May 22, 2011The Lost Forest is home to a wide variety of animals, including our bonobos. Bonobos were not identified by scientists until 1926. Before that, they were thought to be another type of common chimp.

Paul B. • February 25, 2012You can tell the zebras apart!

Dorothy Kucich J. • June 27, 2017What a great venue to see a band. If you go up to the third floor you get a fabulous view of the whole place & the band. We saw Galactic from New Orleans & they were on fire.🎷🎺🎤🥁🎸🎹🎶💃🏻🍸🍺🔥💥

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Mangabeys, mandrills, and guenons, oh my! There are 7 different species of monkeys along Monkey Trail, and they are always busy grooming, playing, eating, sunbathing, squabbling – and watching you!

Miriam G. • August 13, 2014An awesome new attraction at the zoo. The actual animal hides himself pretty damn well, though.

Ingred C. • November 14, 2010Awesome climbing playground! The real playground is to the left of the swings, only open during museum hours.
