Great place to visit with the children. It is a fantastic zoo experience with plenty to see. I'd recommend using the buses if you have trouble walking up hills, or use the skyride. There's a lot to see. more

Really dissappointed with the amount of space given over to the exhibits. Loads of room for the humans to shop and eat but the animals have drawn the short straw. We were really looking forward to our visit but would not recommend the zoo to anyone. Felt so strongly that we even left a written complaint at the customer service... more

After having read and heard much good about San Diego Zoo, my wife went there last week. I guess, that if you have kids, you would give it 5 stars, because most of the attractions are made for kids, but in our opinion, it deserves no more than 3 stars. Why? Well, first of all many of the animals don't... more

The San Diego zoo didnt really strike me as something out of the ordinary. If I was at the Houston zoo and you told me I was in San diego, i would have believe you, because there really is no spectacular difference that sets it apart. It was nice to see all the animals, and I'm sure those with young... more

We visit the zoo 5 or 6 times a year. It is a wonderful way to spend a few hours or the entire day. For first time visitors I suggest you take a minute to study the park map. The zoo is very large and a minute or two of planning can make the day more enjoyable. Many find taking... more

We had a great time today at the San Diego Zoo. The animals were great and it was a very fun experience. We look forward to returning soon to see more of the zoo. We only had about four hours, and we knew that we wanted to see the zoo, so we weren't able to see everything. However, a few... more

it was nice to have so many animals in an urban area. The zoo is active in a world-wide breeding program, which is good for the different species that are involved, the zoos, and the people who go to them. If it weren't for these zoos, the gene pools would be very limited as wild animal populations dwindle around the... more

This is one of the best zoos I have ever seen. The best exhibit here is the underwater massive river hippos. It is truly breathtaking to see them swim in their naturalistic crystal clear river exhibit. The best time to see them frolicking about is at 9AM when the zoo opens. Another wonderful exhibit is the Tiger River habitat. It... more

We'd heard all about the pandas and how wonderful the San Diego Zoo was. When we got there, we saw what we expected - a huge, sprawling zoo with lots to do. Be sure to set aside a good portion of your day, if not a full day, for the zoo. Our advice is to take the bus tour around... more
