San Diego Zoo

Pros: Lovely setting and landscaping.
Cons: Boring and overpriced.

I wish we had gone to the Wild Animal Park instead!

There is so much hype about the pandas but they had moved them and the signs redirecting traffic were the equivalent of a paper flyer tacked to a light post. After we did FINALLY find the...

Pros: the tram service inside the park
Cons: just about everything else

What is so big about the San Diego zoo. It is no different from any other except for the fact that it has 2 Panda bears. Oooohhhhhhhhh, big deal. I stood in line for about a half an hour to see them. When I finally did get to see them, there was only...

Pros: Lots of animals, good food.
Cons: Nothing special or extroadinary.

I went to this zoo on a trip to San Diego with my friend. After spending the whole day there, the two of us regretted going. Its not that we dont like seeing animals, its just that this zoo didn't seem any better than the two not world famous zoos where...

Pros: Uncrowded, clean, manageable
Cons: hot, bit of a drive

I recommend visiting the Wild Animal Park with small kids. We visited in August with our 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and 4-month old. We got a "stroller car" for the 3 year old, our stroller for the baby, and had a great day. It is a manageable...

Pros: exciting and educational
Cons: Very crowded

This summer be sure to check out The San Diego Zoo. The whole Day was great. I learned lots of new things met some great people. I saw many varieties animals, I went with my family and my little sister enjoyed the exhibit were you can pet the chicks. The...

Pros: Pandas and koalas were neat to see.....
Cons: Not that impressed....lots of foliage and wayyyy too many hills!

Maybe it's because we live near Chicago and have a fantastic zoo (Brookfield), but I just wasn't that impressed with San Diego Zoo. The hills were exhausting and there weren't too many different animals that I hadn't seen already at our zoo back home. Plus, there was so much foliage that animals were sometimes hard to find. We did seek out the pandas and koalas, though....because we don't have them back home. I guess the bottom line is that if you don't live near a world-class zoo, you'll probably like it. But, if you have already visited large zoos frequently, it's not that big of a deal.

Pros: Magnificent grounds
Cons: Disappointed in the number of animals and concerned with the size of some of enclosures.

The San Diego Zoo is full of lush tropical foliage and is well maintained. I visited the Zoo in February 2004 and they do not open all the areas during the winter months due to the cooler weather and I would recommend visiting it after April when all the animals are exhibited.

Pros: Has rare animals like the pandas, koalas, and a polar bear.
Cons: Entrance fees are a bit high, unless you are able to find discount tickets.

This is a nice zoo to visit! It has a sky ride and bus tours in the zoo. Lots of animals! Lots of walking! Love the koalas,pandas, and polar bear! Very rare in other zoos. Entrance fees are a bit high unless you can get discount tickets. A nice one day trip!
