What made this visit special? Is this is my first time in San Diego and I was here for the graduation of my son, who was in the Marines. He wanted to go visit the ship. I had no idea what I was in store for but I was blown away by all of it. Seeing what these men and women did to serve our country. How many people sacrifice their lives for ours, and just the rich history and knowledge of different wars, planes P.O.W. and the soldiers that lost their lives serving our country. Also, what it takes to make the ship run, how important it is for everyone on the ship to do their job. It was a very memorable moment for me and my son, who will be shipped off soon. I will be coming back. I didn't get to look at the entire ship because there is a lot to see. But I was very happy and more knowledgeable of things. When I left, I definitely will be coming back.

The entry was a little stressful as the kiosks were down and they had an issue with a power outage or an internet outage so it made entry quite a it longer than it should of been. Once in it was smooth sailing. The staff was so helpful and nice. I did have a difficult time locating the water stations, the website says that they are everywhere and I only came across one the entire time we were there and that was 6 hours. It was our first time there and all in all it was an good experience.

We traveled from Albuquerque, NM . It was worth the long ride to see the delight in our grandchildren with our recent Zoo experience. They visited the pandas twice, rode the skyride and came back with t-shirts, hats and photo souvenirs and memories to share. The San Diego Zoo was spectacular.

Arrival at the Zoo was easy and we were greeted by the beautiful statue of the Lion and the beautiful vegetation. We were also helped by one of the volunteers who directed us in the way to negotiate the overhead trams when using a wheelchair.

My husband was stationed here back in the 1970's, and it was so good for him to come back and reminisce , and tell me stories of what he did on the ship when he was out at sea. Everyone was so friendly and informative.It was a really good tour

I was worried they wouldn't be valid, but the tickets arrived the very day I bought them, and when we got to the zoo, we got in without any problems. We loved everything—it was truly hassle-free, with no excuses.

You'll need to arrive early, but it's a great place to visit—there are lots of interesting spots and plenty of trails to explore. Set aside at least two hours, or more if you can.
