I love the San Diego Zoo! I've been coming here since I was a kid and now I get to take my own kid! The Zoo is huge, it's definitely easy to spend the whole day here. Right now it's a little different as far as entering because of the pandemic. You have to go online and reserve a time to come in. Face masks are required at all times except for when eating.

The San Diego Zoo is amazing! I have been going here since I was a kid, and wow how it has grown over the years. We haven't been down here in several years, and certainly haven't been since I started reviewing places for the public interest. We ended up here on a Friday shortly after they reopened in February of 2021 from COVID. Everything was opened for the most part with the exception of the guided bus tours and the sky tram due to weather conditions on the day we were here. It was cold and rainy the first 3 or 4 hours we arrived which was awesome because the animals were out enjoying the wet weather . We saw the majority of the park in just shy of 6 hours. We brought our own snacks with us as we had a big breakfast before we went in, and had plans for a nice dinner at one of our local favorite spots afterwards. Word of advice for anyone that has trouble walking for very long. Rent a wheelchair or an electric scooter. There are a lot of ups and downs in the park and there is a lot of area to cover in a day. Make sure you bring plenty of water too. There are a lot of different places to eat and grab a drink or treat scattered throughout the zoo so you won't have any issues finding a snack if you don't mind paying for them. I always chalk up the steep prices to supporting the animals and the wonderful staff at this place. The money spent is more than worth the experience of seeing the plethora of animals that are here. I am attaching a ton of pictures that I took this trip. I am not even going to try and name all of them, but you will get the idea when you see them all. Cheers! Enjoy your trip to this wonderful park!
It was difficult to see some animals. We drove all the way down here only to realize there were NO pandas! How is this even possible?! It still doesn't compute! Since I was a little girl, my immense love for pandas was reinforced at the San Diego Zoo! The San Diego Zoo IS the zoo for pandas!! My goodness! I mean, I've considered giving up a normal life to live in SD just so I could work with pandas. This is beyond devastating!
I haven't been here in over a decade. I'm really pleased to see the things I remember as a kid but also see the new features and advancements. The new bridge is really awesome. Africa rock was also really cool.
This is a must-see zoo for all of you animals/zoo lovers if you are ever in San Diego, it is a part of the wonderful Balboa Park, which contains a lot of fun museums and activities. The zoo is very large in size, it has so many different varieties of animals, and it would take you the whole day to really see everything and read about the animals, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. Plan your day carefully, start by studying the map and making a route, don’t get lost always check with your map, I actually consulted some of the volunteers on the best route to follow, and they were very helpful, also make sure to ask about any available activities and plan your day accordingly if you are interested in any of them.
