Suggestions for Zoo near San Diego

Neil M. • September 21, 2017Great zoo, they really work hard to keep the animals in as natural and interesting environment as possible

Tony Z. • September 20, 2016Really fun safari area but bring comfortable clothes and pack light. Although there are many paid attractions, the African tram and other walkable routes can easily last for hours.

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.

Marla C. • September 18, 2013There are three males currently in the exhibit.

Miriam G. • August 13, 2014Plushes and magnets, plus several books and Chinese-themed gifts.

Bradley H. • April 20, 2013Have to try this the photo ops are awesome!

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!
