San Diego til familier

The zoo was a very good experience and I enjoyed spending the day there with my kids and my grandkids. I loved seeing the hippos in the water underneath through the glass , was amazing how large they are! And the polar bear swimming underneath in the water also amazing experience! The pandas and kualas were so cute too at the zoo! I loved being able to see the tiger up close through the window at the Makaw cafe/market at the Safari Park! So cool to see the cheetah out underneath the tree and the beautiful giraffes! The gorillas too were amazing to see! Only thing I was disappointed with was we headed out to the area take the tram ride around 3:00 and before we got there we're told by other visitors on the path that it was too late! Maybe if the park were to announce or let visitors know at the entrance to get the tram before 3:00, would have been helpful! But overall I enjoyed both parks. My family really enjoyed seeing the elephants play at the safari park I missed that cause grandma (me) had to head back halfway through cause of the heat. All the park employees were helpful and very nice! It was 94 degrees at 1:30 the afternoon we visited! 😊

My daughter and I are on vacation in San Diego and we wanted to plan ahead with our visits to the parks. We were able to purchase tickets, plan around the times the park was open and arrange travel from our AirBnb to the park using public transportation. Having the tickets ahead of time made it so easy to walk right in once we got there and also made it easy to budget ahead paying for one park at a time when we could.
