Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of parking. Even the farthest parking the walk isn't as intense to the main entrance as is the rest of the Zoo 🫣 there is so much to see and do, with tour bus also. Plenty of spaces to take a (bathroom) break, eat, relax and make it a half day experience. Kiddos will enjoy it with the array of animals to see. The free map (at the entrance after entering the gate) is a great guide to prioritize what to visit, see and do. Highly recommend bringing a stroller (or rent) if you have kids as there are several inclines throughout the park. Bring snacks and buy tickets online to avoid the wait time. Staff was very cordial.

It was so calm and low key. I would recommend the bus ride with little kids it is a fast way to see the big animals. Go first thing in the morning and you will see lots of animal activity due to the morning feeding. We did the early morning with pandas. I honestly think if you go first thing when the zoo opens you will still get quality time with them. My 7yr old 5yr old loved the 30 minutes with them but didn’t really understand what our tour guide was saying due to him taking to the adults. One thing that was annoying about trying to see the pandas… is the glass is super reflective, and you could see the people standing next to you more than the pandas.

At San Diego Zoo today was our wonderful family outing watching wildlife in their natural environment. The most interesting was Poler Bear, the giant Panda, Gorilla, and the Rhinos. Tons of verities of snakes, reptiles. Colorful and chirping birds were great attraction for all. We did guided bus tour and many other activities all the day and returned back in the evening with sweet memories and experience. Not to forget today around 10:15 am we also experienced and earthquake of around 6 magnitude.
