San Diego Zoo

This world-famous zoo is as good as it gets. Stand to attention with meerkats, monkey around with macaques and hop on the cable car to glide above it all like the mighty condor. One tip: pay up the extra dollars for a Backstage Pass – you’ll get up close and personal with cheetahs and rhinos!

    We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out...

    We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out and fewer folks... delightfully close to the animals. Hours of fun and so many steps. The ticket now includes the train/tram around the Africa exhibits. A great day

    Zoo was awesome but it is so large.

    Zoo was awesome but it is so large. We gad a hard time getting to see everything due to it’s size and all the other walking we had been doing on our trip. We left before we were really ready or saw everything.

    Best zoo in the world. Hard to see in one day.

    Best zoo in the world. Hard to see in one day. If there is any possibility that you will be returning within the year, highly recommend the package deal. It is expensive, but like I said you will want to spend more than a day here to see everything there is to see!

    San Diego zoo was great.

    San Diego zoo was great. Friendly staff, always helpful,never afraid to show you things or ever walk you to where you needed to be. The grounds themselves were very clean and the animals all looked very comfortable in her habitats.

    San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoo's we have ever been to!

    San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoo's we have ever been to! It is HUGE. You surely cannot complete the entire park in a day - and if you can I commend you! We sadly were only able to complete half of the park in the day that we had at the zoo, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing a camera along to take pictures of some of the most amazing animals in the world!

    The Gaslight Plaza Suites is located in the heard of San Diego, right next to the gas light district/main street. The stuff is very helpful, friendly and tries to accommodate you as best as possible. We experienced a calm stay. Within walking distance are bars, clubs, coffee shops and dinner places and sightseeing locations such as the San Diego zoo are reachable by car within 15-20'

    It was a pleasant stay. Close to the Old Town Historic Park and the tourist trolley stop. It was also close to public transportation. The counter staff were very helpful and efficient. We also bought San Diego Zoo tickets from them. There was plenty of space to hang clothes and dry them. The cost of doing laundry was reasonable. The lobby was welcoming. It had DVDs and books.
