Nobody ever talks about what makes the San Diego Zoo really special. All zoos have animals but they do not have the incredible variety of plants. It is the landscaping that makes it special, it's like a giant a botanical garden.

I currently work at the San Diego Zoo as a caricature artist and the best time to visit the zoo is in summer. In summertime we have lots of nighttime shows: animal presentations, African live music band, an acrobat show, and a big parade right before closing. In summertime we are open from 9 am to 9 pm. So come visit the zoo this summer, you're going to have a good time and get your caricature drawn by me.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the fabulous info on the San Diego Zoo. I j love that it has a lot of open space for the animals to feel more in a natural habitat.That 3 day pass is a great deal. You have a chance to visit 3 different attractions. But I would probably need 2 days for the Zoo. It's such a beautiful place. Definitely a place to visit. Take care.

I'm glad you mentioned the multi-day passes. When I went to pay for my tickets at the zoo, the person taking tickets told me not to expect to see it all in one day. Another zoo that's of the same, or near, quality as the SD Zoo but not as big is the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. That zoo can be visited in one day.

I heard pandas are coming at the end of this summer and I'm excited to plan a trip to visit those pandas as well as other animals in this amazing zoo. I wonder if I can just take an uber to get to the zoo if I stay in downtown San Diego and catch an uber back. Not sure if there are decent amount of ubers coming into the zoo area to pick people up.

In most of December you can stay late at the Zoo and they have additional nighttime shows. The Zoo also has red pandas, much small and cuter and more active than the black and white ones.

Is there still a children's zoo in the zoo?

@SanDiegoArtNut Жыл бұрын

They just did a multi million $ rebuild of the "children's" area. There are a lot of interactive features for kids to engage with like a rope bridge and dancing fountains. The exhibits have a lot of insect displays and educational exhibits in some beautiful architecture. It's near the new walk thru butterfly building and the komodo dragon enclosures. No petting because of health concerns.

@ElectricRick Жыл бұрын

@@SanDiegoArtNut I have not been to the zoo in a long time. When I was growing up you could get into the zoo for free if you were 16 years old or under. I guess it is time for a visit. I always loved the children's area.

Recommend parents avoid taking children to the Bonobo exhibit - they seemed intent on maximizing the craziest freakiest behavior and also seemed to target children! Yikes, do not recommend. Their behavior is likely affected by their smaller blander area, not at the same level as other well done areas. This likely makes their behavior more bizarre and compulsive than it would in the interesting varied wild. It made me understand why it was so hard to find in the park.
