    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 a big fan of the San Diego Zoo, IMO one of the best in the world, at least from the ones that I’ve been to, and I’ve been to many.

    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.

      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.

    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.
