San Diego Zoo

We spent the entire day at the zoo - we fed the giraffe's - what an awesome experience that was! Saw the panda's and all of the other animals. The zoo was neat and clean, the employee's were very helpful. We rode the tram. It was a wonderful day absolutely delightful. We loved it.

I liked the variety of animals. I very much disliked the so called "shuttle" buses which emit black smoke and smell awful. There are many of them and they getting in the pedestrians way. I cannot believe that a zoological park is so behind the times, in that they don't use electrical or hydrogen fuel vehicles. Anyway, why bother with them at all? A zoo is meant to be walked around slowly. I won't go back.

Your right the San Diego night Zoo is not what it was, I saw the guy they replaced Zookeeper Willie with, loud and what a jerk when I asked where Willie was, he turned his head and ignored me. I saw another character in a cheezy Zookeeper outfit just talking with employees, he looked old tired and beat, I guess he works at Walmart during the day greeting people.

The zoo was very nice, we did a lot of walking until we found the train YAHOO!.

My family has been traveling to the San Diego for over 8 years - for Night Zoo. Our children have always looked forward to seeing Zookeeper Willie, doing the hula hoop contest, and for the last two years watching the painter from Splash. This year there is no Willie, just some loud obnoxious guy they call the Doctor - and the painter is also gone. The band is ok - but not nearly as entertaining! Night Zoo is now a lame version of what it used to be! Thank you Zookeeper Willie - the zoo will never be the same for us!

I've been a Diamond Member for 7 years! It's a great deal! I take my 7 grandchildren 2-3 times a year, their ages 5 - 13 yrs. Each visit is a new experience, children love animals and never get tired of the shows. This week we are all excited to visit the Elephant Odyssey.

I LIVE IN TEXAS AND I EXPECTED MORE .THE ZOO WAS NOT AS GREAT AS EXPECTED .THE ELEPHANT ARE COOL .BUT PANDA WHERE A LET DOWN NOT GREAT SITTING.

I grew up with this zoo and spent many wonderful days at this zoo. As a teenager my friends and I would spend lots of time there and always would dream of being a zoo keeper. Then as an adult my husband and I would go there too. After moving from San Diego and having children we came back several times. We now plan on coming back to the zoo with our grand daughter. It is a wonderful place! Over the years I have been to many other zoos and they always come up short to San Diego Zoo. It is the best!

I went on a trip and the main focus was the ZOO!!! only i was slightly dissapointed. They do not have penguins, cheetas, many lions, or other big cats. you have to go to the wild animal park and see world to soo the whole deal. I want to be a zoo keeper for my profession and i wanted to go here so bad. Some of the animals where pacing and seamed to not be happy. Of the vey few big cats they had, there seamed to only be one is very small cages. Yes it was natural but needs to be big. And the tigers they had, they where the second smallest in the world and same with the type of lions they had. The panda exibt wasnt that good either. very very big and lots of climbing. Do not like that you cant see some of the more famous animals and have to go to other places. No dolphins, sharks, the crocs they had where just small ones. only one hippo in the cage. Very excited and dissapointed

It is overhyped for sure! well u do get to see the panda and the sleeping koalas..but if u are on a holiday with only limited time..avoid this.This is a timekiller..with nothing great to offer. I am not saying its not a nice zoo ..but if you are travelling rather go to the beaches, go to la jolla, trek at torrey pines than come here .. ofcourse if you haven't seen a zoo before this is a good one to come to. also if you stay in san diego this good for a lazy weekend and if you loooooooooooove animals u might like this ...although most of them are sleeping , or the cages may be empty. with 35$ go eat in a fancy restaurant by the beach u ll like that more! personally zoos depress me , I think wild animals are best left in the wild, not as exhibits!
