"World Famous" for a reason 1/15/2006

San Diego Zoo is the best zoo I have ever been to, in all of the world. The animals are very well kept. The zoo has strived to make their habitats as close to natural as possible and it shows. The enclosures are spacious and open air when possible. It is difficult to see the zoo in one day, as it is so large. I recommend coming two days in a row. If you only have one day, take the bus ride, it will show you the highlights of the zoo, but you'll still miss a lot of things. The pandas are amazing to see, you can get right up close to them, but sometimes there is a wait to see them, since they only allow a limited number of viewers at a time. The zoo has a fantastic reptile house with dozens of different species. The polar bears are great to watch and can frequently be seen swimming and playing. The animals always seem content at this zoo and it's evident that they are well loved and cared for. As far as shopping and dining go, the gift store are horribly overpriced, but some things can only be bought at the gift shops. If you don't have a lot of spare money, just don't even go in and look. I would not recommend eating at the zoo, the food is really not very tasty and is very expensive. Your best bet is to leave midday, get your hand stamped for re-entry and go somewhere else to eat. This is a good idea, not only to get better food and save some money, but midday in San Diego can get quite hot and a lot of the animals like to take to the shade and nap while the sun is hot. more
