Our mommy daughter date couldn't have been better. We purchased tickets the morning of. We drive down to spend the day at the San Diego Zoo. The entry into the park was so easy as I had already downloaded the app headout as I was told once my tickets were purchased. Once we parked and got to the gate all I had to do was pull up my QR code given to me through the app for my tickets. The guy at the gate scanned us and we went right in. No lines. Nothing. It was great cause we went on a holiday weekend and the lines to get in were very long. We didn't even wait! Will definitely use this app again for the ease and convenience. We had a great day!

My family and I were impressed with the care that the volunteers and paid staff provided for our overall experience at the USS Midway. Our questions were answered and everyone was friendly and helpful. Access was easy as we walked from our transit station to the USS Midway. My son was in a cast at the time, and the staff were very helpful in providing assistance for him as needed. Over all an incredible experience and I would visit again and definitely recommend others for the opportunity.

If you ever get to San Diego, touring the USS Midway is a must do on your list of things to see. The history behind this ship is important to learn. The docents in various places have so much to tell you about the ship and their experiences on it. There is lots to entertain the young ones as well. It does take hours to see most or all of it if you have the time and patience, but so worth it. Taking the "island tour" I think that's what it was called, to the bridge is a must do.

Upon arrival on the ship, the volunteer staff were very pleasant and helpful. Since there are several decks on this ship, we were curious how to make our experience proceed smoothly. The volunteers showed us a strategy, allowing us to enjoy the full experience, without being overwhelmed. From the living quarters to the mess hall to the flight deck, this museum did not disappoint. The knowledge of the volunteers truly made this a memorable experience.

The San Diego Zoo lived up to its status as worlds best in class. From the outstanding and most helpful service of the staff to the care and interaction with the animals, our experience was exceptional. We are 78 and 76 years of age and needed handicap services. The Zoo did a great job of assisting in our needs. If you are planning on going to San Diego, take the time to visit their zoo.

I visited the San Diego Zoo and I absolutely loved the experience. Everything is very well organized and impressively clean, which makes walking through it really enjoyable. My favorite animals were the crocodile, the rhinoceros, and the elephant because I could observe them up close in very well-maintained habitats. It’s definitely a place worth visiting.

As an Australia Veteran I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the ship. It was so well set up and gives people an understanding of ship life and the dangers these sailors encountered. I believe this museum is actually better than the titanic museum in Belfast, would highly recommend people to visit,

Enjoyed our annual trip the SD Zoo, taking relatives from Eco-friendly Costa Rica who were rightly impressed. Disappointed with new $16 parking charge. Rented battery driven car for handicapped senior. Well worth the money. LOVE THIS ZOO !!!
