Very nicely laid out. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, the predators sometimes have too little space and show conspicuous behavior.

All of the volunteers from assisting with any and all questions we had about how to find specific places as well as numerous programs and descriving them and their schedules.

The problem was that on this day the zoo closed one hour early. The ticket was supposed to be good until 5 pm and the zoo closed at 4 pm.

Beautiful grounds and flora, absolutely first rate zoo. Navigating the trails was a bit confusing especially the Panda Ridge but, the "Red Shirts" were especially friendly and very helpful. One day could not do the visit justice so we'll definitely be back specifically to spend several days.

Your experience

An adventure through the animal kingdom

The San Diego Zoo 1 Day Ticket offers an immersive experience into the world of wildlife. Begin with a guided bus tour, introducing you to over 4,500 rare and endangered animals. Stroll through the winding paths of the lush botanical garden, home to koalas, Galápagos tortoises, tigers, eagles, flamingos, and great apes. Here, if lucky, you can even pet and occasionally feed them under the guidance of the keepers. Now that's a rare treat!

Exotic encounters and hands-on experiences

Next, plunge into the world of the Arctic at the Conrad Prebys Polar Bear Plunge. Ever measured yourself against a polar bear or crawled into a bear den? Here, you can do both and even climb aboard an Arctic research helicopter for an unforgettable experience. Move to the Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey, a unique 7.5-acre habitat designed to mirror the elephants' natural environment. Don't miss out on the West African Forest exhibit, home to dwarf crocodiles and a stunning 65-foot manmade waterfall, Rady Falls. From the Sichuan takins to the Buerger’s tree-kangaroos, every encounter is designed to give you an up-close and personal experience with these fascinating creatures.
