I've been coming here since I was a little kid and it never ceases to amaze me how wonderful this park is. Now I'm able to take my daughter and pass on the joy it brought me back then to see so many animals in such a wonderful environment. They have everything here and in such great surroundings! My daughter hates birds but she still wanted to go into the Aviary and see them. We loved our time here and the staff was very helpful along the way. Keep up the great work!

The San Diego is a must stop attraction if you're in the city. It may seem pricey at first at about $50 a ticket but it's well worth it for the amount of animals you can see. Don't underestimate the size of the zoo by just looking at the map... This place is HUGE! You can easily spend half a day or more here. Plus, at the time I went, they were still expanding and adding new areas, exhibits, and animals.

Not cheap, however totally worth it. Don't get to caught up with the pandas. If there is a huge line keep moving. The hippos were the most entertaining. They have a great setup where we saw the mom and baby playing underwater. As well as all the animals the grounds were amazing everything was so well maintained and beautiful. I would recommend getting there in the morning since there is so much to see.

A terrific Zoo! Too much to see in one day. Tons of animals, great map and walking paths, neat and speedy Sky rail. Food was great, animal habitats were beautiful, plants and trees were lush like a jungle. Transportation options around zoo were helpful as it is a large and hilly place. Volunteer Staff were very friendly. Amazing toll house cookie ice cream sandwiches on the way out!

What a great time. Visited for our little guy's first birthday. We went on a day in February that had a chance of showers and it was pretty much empty. Parkimg was free and easy, then we walked up to every exhibit and took our time since there was no rush to move out of other people's way. We ate in the Africa area, had a great chicken sandwich and a large local beer while watching elephants meander around their enclosure. The enclosures and habitats seem to be large enough for the animals to spread out, walk around freely, and be comfortable, which is refreshing. We ended up buying a membership and will definitely go back multiple times this year!
