Nobody ever talks about what makes the San Diego Zoo really special. All zoos have animals but they do not have the incredible variety of plants. It is the landscaping that makes it special, it's like a giant a botanical garden.

I currently work at the San Diego Zoo as a caricature artist and the best time to visit the zoo is in summer. In summertime we have lots of nighttime shows: animal presentations, African live music band, an acrobat show, and a big parade right before closing. In summertime we are open from 9 am to 9 pm. So come visit the zoo this summer, you're going to have a good time and get your caricature drawn by me.

Got married this year and we did a huge Southern California road trip, ending in San Diego. The zoo was such a great experience - one among so many. Missing it here in rainy, cold Ireland right now!

This was super helpful and you saved me about $300, I plan on taking my 4 kids to the zoo in October while my husband is busy with a conference. I had no idea that kids were free in October, I checked and still valid for 2024

I'm glad you mentioned the multi-day passes. When I went to pay for my tickets at the zoo, the person taking tickets told me not to expect to see it all in one day.
Another zoo that's of the same, or near, quality as the SD Zoo but not as big is the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. That zoo can be visited in one day.

Been there! Don't ask, just go! A Top 3 zoo, perhaps the very best in US.

My nephew loves this zoo I’ve taken him 3 times each time we visit he loves it more and more. Takes the whole day to explore the park it’s worth it.

Did the Zoo in 2007 for a high school biology field trip and they had a baby panda ❤ now that pandas son is there in exhibit. And I’m bringing my baby this year. Such a fun zoo

Went there and Sea World back in 2019, kiddos loved it. Last month went to go check out San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Pretty worth it going there for sure.

Thanks for the video! I just went to the San Diego Zoo on Thanksgiving Day. Loved getting to see a tiger up close! Definitely worth the money. San Diego is my favorite city in all of California!

I’m a big fan of the San Diego Zoo, IMO one of the best in the world, at least from the ones that I’ve been to, and I’ve been to many.
Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. I’ve been to the SDZ many times, but one always learns something new from your excellent presentations.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the fabulous info on the San Diego Zoo. I j love that it has a lot of open space for the animals to feel more in a natural habitat.That 3 day pass is a great deal. You have a chance to visit 3 different attractions. But I would probably need 2 days for the Zoo. It's such a beautiful place. Definitely a place to visit. Take care.

I didn't get a chance to check out the San Diego Zoo when I went to San Diego back in August, but I was able to visit Balboa Park right next to it. I do like how the parking around there is all free. I'll have to check out the zoo one of these days!

This zoo looks amazing. We have a nice zoo here in Indianapolis but nothing like this.
