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.

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!

Amy W. • March 19, 2011This is a GREAT family activity. Food is pricy for what you get on board. TONS to see. Got there at 10 am and didn't see everything at close. Kids loved it and so did adults. A *MUST* do!

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!!!

Jase L. • July 3, 2016I absolutely loved this place. The front area had great food and tailgating games. The line dancing was a little crowded with non-dancers so was ok, and later transitioned to just standing room only.
