San Diego Zoo

Pros: Beautiful grounds, interesting exhibits
Cons: Expensive, but worth it!

I had not been to the San Diego Zoo since I was 12, which was, um, a whole lot of years ago! I didn't remember much about it, so I didn't have many preconceived notions.

Pros: The zoo is big.
Cons: The zoo is big.

This is one big zoo. It is only 1/10th the size of the Wild Animal Park which is 35 miles of it, but since one walks around the zoo, it's plenty big.

The zoo is divided into various areas such as "Horn and Hoof Mesa" where you can go for...

You must visit the San Diego Zoo, among the zoological wonders of the world.

My earliest and fondest recollections of this Zoo run to the 1950s when my family went to Balboa Park more often than we did to the movies! I got to know...

In taking a trip to L.A., we decided to take the time to visit San Diego as well. We only had a few days in the area and while there, visited both the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. Because we had such a short period of time in the city, we had limited...

Pros: Plenty to see and do, great for kids!
