With literally thousands of wild animals including many on the endangered species list, its no wonder that San Diego Zoo is world famous. With more than 4,000 animals representing 800 species, San Diego Zoo is home to a diverse collection of animals, many of which are rarely seen at other zoos.

Now open is the polar bear plunge an expedition for the whole family. Cuddle up in a snow den, climb into the cockpit of an arctic research helicopter and discover all there is to know about the frozen and fascinating world of the Polar Bears.

Come meet the newest addition to the panda family, and the fifth baby panda born at the San Diego Zoo! This is truly one of the most unique and most beloved species on the planet - and very few are ever seen outside their native habitat in northern China.

The San Diego Zoo is highlighting California animals from the ancient past, present and future in The Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey, the newest and most unique exhibit to date! At the Elephant Odyssey, step into the fossil dig site and explore prehistoric fossil evidence, and visit the habitats of current wildlife species including elephants, a pair of lions and a jaguar! Learn about extinction causes of the mammoth and saber-toothed tiger and stop by the Pleistocene playground to find out about conservation projects at work.

I haven't visited this zoo in over 30 years and was impressed with how visitor friendly it is. It is very hilly and there are buses and carts available to assist those less mobile (like myself). The exhibits are very open and the animals are easily able to be seen (if they want to be), and you can have different experiences (a behind the scenes tour) if you would like that. It is good to see the preservation of endangered species of both flora and fauna being researched. The pandas were amazing!! A good days outing.

What a great day my family had! So much to see...lions, tigers and bears, oh my! We spent over 8 hours at the zoo and are planning to go again soon. Great day out for everyone, young and old in our family! Thanks Viator!!!

We had a great time at the Zoo! It was lightly raining as we weren't sure if we were going to see that many animals, but the exact opposite occurred and we got to see a lot of animals that normally only come out at night but were out because of the rain. There were also few people there so we got to get up close to a lot of the animals and see the trainers feeding the lions and polar bears without any crowds! So don't be afraid of a little light rain!

The San Diego Zoo is amazing. It's so big with so much to see. The bus is a great way to start your day at the park so that you can get acquainted and learn about the park and see animals at the same time.

I had a great time at the zoo! We were greeted right away by a friendly worker who advised that since it was our first time at the zoo, we should take the narrated bus tour. This was a great tip! We were able to see most of the exhibits then decide which critters we wanted to revisit on foot. The cuddly koalas were my favorite!
