The
San Diego Zoo is open every day of the week and includes all holidays. A five minute ride takes you to Asia and Africa for the most diverse collection of animals anywhere in the United States. The day at the Zoo should include the bus tour and the skyfari ride which will take you through the Zoo in about four to five hours. Our pandas are a special treat whether eating or sleeping. Stop for lunch at Albert's or The Treehouse. Both offer a good lunch and a break from animal watching and being watched by the animals.

When you return to the
Westin Gaslamp, plan to "unwind" in the lobby of the hotel with a few beverages of choice and have the concierge arrange tickets to one of the performing arts productions. The
Old Globe Theatre has well-known actors almost every evening or
La Jolla Playhouse, during their Fall/Winter season, offers Westin guests some future Broadway plays to enjoy. Of course the concierge can book dinner at one of the many fine restaurants nearby. Everything from steaks to seafood and some very good ethnic restaurants will make your day complete.
