We were visiting relatives in Carlsbad from Chicago. Our one bucket list item was the San Diego Zoo to see the pandas. 🐼
We did get a glimpse of the male panda munching on bamboo. As it turned out, the Galapagos tortoises were our favorites! The turtle whisperer told us all about the tortoises and even put them into trances!🤩🐢
The volunteers stationed around the zoo were what really made the visit complete. They were so helpful with how to approach our visit as well as information about the animals. We only had the one day to visit and we were able to see just about every exhibit. It was a wonderful day!

Had a wonderful day with my brother and sister. The exhibits are world class, the environment clean and docents at each exhibit were very informative. They are definitely a huge asset to one's zoo experience. Thank you for all your efforts to save threatened and endangered species.

Sensory bag was useful, for someone with neurological difficulties and found i very helpful when I found it overwhelming in both crowded and noisy situations.
I found the inteactive map very useful and excellent tool which made the whole experience very personable

We were really impressed with the zoo overall and its effort to sustainability. The Koalas were great as were the Pandas. My favourite was the Gorillas while my grandson loved the different environments created for each animal.
We rode the double decker bus and discovered many things we didn't know about animals and plants

Everything was awesome. I watch San Diego zoo on animal planet and it's been on my bucket list. Well kept park and helpers/ staff every where to assist. So much to see and do.

There was so much to see and we got an aerial view from the skyfari, an up close view on all the walking paths, and a great tour on the bus.

Great exhibits and a terrific combination of self guided and guided tours. The volunteers are amazing and their knowledge about the ship and the planes is either well studied or based on real life service. Highly recommended!

Awesome time. The animals are well taken care of and active. It was big, spacious and comfortable. My 6 yr old loved all the monkeys and reptiles

Having the prepaid tickets was better than having to queue. The ship displays are very well done & amazing to see how they lived & worked. The various audio/visual displays were very informative. We were fortunate to witness some retirement ceremonies as well.

The zoo was setup so easily for you to be able to walk to so many attractions. The skyfari was a fun way to get to either end of the zoo. There are a lot of exhibits and stuff to see. Was a wonderful experience

Easy to book a day at the SD Zoo. Loved the Zoo and all it has to offer. Exceptionally clean, with very nice habitats and enclosures for the animals! We visited on a nice cool week day. Crowds were minimal. We had lunch at the Sandwich shop and though it was very tasty, it is overpriced.
Our only disappointment was that the Pandas weren't visible both times we went to their habitat to see them. Overall excellent experience! We definitely hope to return!

The tour bus at the zoo was great! We did have a short wait online to get in the bus but the sites were awesome. We sat on top and had a bird's eye view of several different animals. After the bus we had a good idea of what direction to head in order to see as many animals as possible.

We ordered our tickets on line. We took our kids as children to the zoo. This time we took our sons family, including our granddaughters. It was great to spend the day seeing them enjoy all of the enclosures. Of course the panda bears were a favorite as well as the Outback area. It was a great day with beautiful weather and we all got our steps in for sure.

The zoo experience was great but parking was horrible. We had to goggle up the additional parking. It would be great if the address of the additional parking was provided on the app.

Great bus tour guide! Wish I remembered his name but he gave great facts and told funny dad jokes the whole tour! Tour really helped understand the park more!
