The San Diego Zoo is one of California’s prominent attractions — behind Disneyland and Hollywood, the zoo is a must-see for visitors to the Golden State. Make the most of your trip to the zoo without going bats.
San Diego temperatures usually hover between 60 and 80 degress, so it is a good idea to wear sunscreen, bring sunglasses and pack layers. While getting sunburn is probably the last thing on your mind, be sure to wear sunscreen and keep children hydrated.

The San Diego Zoo is remarkable in size and scope. It houses animals from across the globe and provides up-close experiences with select species and has 4D movie theatres. Be sure to plan your trip in advance and try to coordinate nearby exhibits to avoid crisscrossing the large zoo. Use the planning tool on the zoo’s website to ensure you don’t miss out on the fun.
The zoo also offers special tours for an additional fee. Early risers can enjoy breakfast with the Koalas for an additional $45. This package includes a buffest breakfast as well as an exclusive chance to watch koalas munch on their own morning meal. There are many other exclusive tours and offers to peak your fancy.
The popular Safari Park Tour offers an up-close look at wildlife while riding in a cart, caravan or even on a zip line. Prices range accordingly. Whatever your adventure level and budget, the San Diego Zoo has something to offer; be sure to plan ahead and enjoy your wild adventure.
