Experience the best of San Diego Zoo Safari Park

The San Diego Zoo was by far the best experience of my entire trip to San Diego, and nothing short of remarkable. It is set in the iconic Balboa park and is in close proximity to other amazing places and activities in the park including the Japanese Friendship Gardens or the gorgeous Botanical Gardens. Headout made the ticket purchasing and entry process incredibly easy with not only a seamless and non-confusing UI, but most importantly the ability to access tickets without an internet connection. This eliminated the stress of waiting on slow or unreliable connections at busy ticketing lines, and made my experience at the Zoo much more enjoyable in general. The Zoo is a perfect example of what I think a modern zoo should be, with a great balance of engaging and entertaining exhibits, while making it evident that animals are extremely well taken care. Habitats are beautiful and reflect the natural environments of the animals they house. It is hard to find zoos that feel ethical while also providing the classical amusement park feel of a large zoo. San Diego balances this perfectly with a wide selection of activites, concessions, etc; while maintain ethical standards and clean and proper habitats. My favorite parts of the Zoo were the "Lost Forest" pathways that really immerse you in the environment and make you feel like your really walking through a true jungle. I would recommend wearing capable footwear as the park is massive and is built upon many different hills and cliff sides that brings way for many uphill and downhill walks. However, the park is accessible for those with disabilities as there is a guided 35 minute bus tour that takes you throughout the park and has visible views of the animals, as well. The park also has plenty of food and beverage options for both kids and adults, or individuals with food allergies like myself. I was able to find several gluten free options, most notably carne asada tacos at the sabertooth grill near the elephant habitat. They were delicious and reasonably priced for in-park food. There is also alcoholic beverage stations around the park to really amp up the experience. Overall, the San Diego Zoo is a perfect excursion that is situated in an accessible area of the city and is suitable for everyone!

Using Headout was so easy. Purchasirng in advance allowed me to skip the long entrance line and allowed me to utilize all the extra time seeing the animals.

I loved your site. It was easy to use. It sent me a reminder my trip was in pending, just in case I forgot. It might be nice if the site could somehow integrate with a weather forecast site so that we would know what the weather temperature would be when we book our tickets. That's the only thing I can think of that might have made it better. But my visit was exactly everything I wanted it to be.. I got to sit on the patio and eat wonderful food and watch elephants. That was the whole reason for my trip.

I went to the San Diego zoo and also the safari park it was amazing I had a lot of fun and seen a lot I of animals recommend 💯.

The convenience of the frequent stops allowed for exploring many places in a short amount of time, while the knowledgeable guides added engaging personal twists to the experience. Overall, it was a fantastic trip that inspired a strong recommendation and a desire to take it again.

We have been to San Diego many times, but never taken the Hop on Hop off Trolley before. All of the drivers were friendly and informative. We saw and learned about places we had never been, like the Barrio Logan, Little Italy, and the amazing Star of India and other ships that we could explore! It was a great way to see the beautiful architecture of the city and enjoy the variety of the areas so conveniently. We give it 10 stars!!
