Celebrating its 107th year in 2023, the San Diego Zoo is consistently recognized as one of the world’s greatest zoos! Animal lovers from all around the world flock – no pun intended – to this world-class zoo to admire the stunning variety of animals amongst the 100 lush acres nestled into the canyons and mesas of the lovely Balboa Park. Already home to some of the world’s rarest wildlife, the San Diego Zoo continues to evolve and leads the way in animal habitat innovation, providing more natural settings for animals, often with different species living together. This reflects the more modern approach of zoos and a focus on conservation, rather than entertainment. The newest exhibits here include Africa Rocks, Australian Outback, Sun Bear Forest, Absolutely Apes, Elephant Odyssey and the Polar Bear Plunge. Enjoy approximately 5 hours at leisure with an included “deluxe ticket” package so you can explore the Zoo as you wish. Enjoy unlimited access to scheduled shows, the Guided Bus Tour which is a narrated driving tour highlighting the main areas of the Zoo, the Kangaroo Express Bus which allows you to hop-on and hop-off at various locations, and the Skyfari Aerial Tram which transports you from one side of the Zoo to the other. Enjoy lunch on your own at the Zoo, at one of the Balboa Park eateries, or bring a sack lunch. |
