Suggestions for Zoo near San Diego

Jenny V M. • January 19, 2015Excellent park for families to enjoy. The animals healthy and well fed. Recommendation for the bus ride sitting on the right side as the animals look better. Recommended

Hannah C. • January 23, 2015There's so much space for the animals to roam here. The views are beautiful and trekking around here is a good workout. I definitely recommend!

Bryce G. • July 20, 2010Bus tour is the best way to get a quick overview of all the activities and venues at the zoo. Highly recommended.

Lori S. • October 23, 2018A great place for gift buying and you support the zoo at the same time.

Steve H. • August 2, 2013The only place in the zoo that has an energy drink.

Miriam G. • August 13, 2014Very helpful and accommodating.

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Look around and you’re sure to see one meerkat on guard duty, usually perched on a high point in the exhibit. Meerkats live in a colony, and the adults take turns being the lookout for danger.

Andrew S. • September 5, 2011The most entertaining exhibit at the zoo.

Denise D. • December 13, 2019So cool to see the Condors

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!

Ren M. • July 24, 2010San Diego zoo has the largest collection koalas outside of Australia! Crazy! It's because San Diego is perfect for growing eucalyptus!
