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

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!!!

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!

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!!!

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!

Anne M. • September 28, 2013So fabulous. Highly recommend seeing a show (or two!) here.

Tyler C. • July 6, 2012Went by later afternoon, one flamingo was being very territorial. Easily one of the most active attractions!

Katie M. • March 29, 2011Fantastically designed exhibit with multiple places to watch the gorillas from. Such a lively bunch.

Miriam G. • August 14, 2014The snakes are amazing and beautiful.

Steve W. • September 12, 2020Delicious local beers, plenty of shade, and very knowledgeable staff.

K K. • August 19, 2014Beautiful outdoor setting with excellent pipe organ concerts on Sunday afternoons and, in the summer, on Monday evenings.

Jokie T. • January 23, 2018Love it! Come in the morning or towards close to avoid crowds.

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

Olympia B. • April 10, 2013The Arlo Guthrie concert was WONDERFUL. The venue was beautiful, cozy, perfect for a folk performer. Will definitely be back.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Miriam G. • July 30, 2017Frisky, stripey, giant kitty cats!

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.🎷🎺🎤🥁🎸🎹🎶💃🏻🍸🍺🔥💥

Sarah L. • March 12, 2013Everything a toddler mother could hope for-Educational, hands-on,plenty to climb & explore. Its pretty empty on weekdays so my child never had to wait to play & its age appropriate for very young kids
