San Diego Zoo - Reviews from across the web


No title - user review My 18 year old daughter and I went to the zoo on 7/8/2007. It was awesome. We bought the regular admission ticket (no bus or tram ride...we chose to walk and it was great). We abso... tripadvisor.com San Diego Zoo - user review There is some walking involved with any zoo visit, but this one really covers some ground. It is worth it, however, to see the range of animals at the park. You get a chance here to see animals that you may never see again in you lifetime, like the Giant Panda. If you get tired just catch a bus tour... igougo.com Willing to return!!!! - user review I could not believe the change. The first time I was at the zoo was in 1974 and I was not at all impressed.

Either way it's worth it. I would suggest not spending the extra money for the Skyfari as it passes over much of the zoo that is being redone, so all you see is construction. The tour b... igougo.com San Diego Zoo - user review Spend the extra dollars to take the bus tour and the Sky Safari, it's worth the money!

One piece of advice -- you have to stand in line to see the pandas, so do that first if possible. We didn't know that and got there at 3:30, when the line was too long to get through by 5.
