San Diego Zoo - Travel Guide 4+

We had such a great time at the zoo today. Every worker was helpful and friendly. When we left, we noticed the parking lot was packed but we wouldn’t have guessed there were so many people here because they know how to accommodate large crowds. The prices for the items were the same in every store so we knew we were not missing out on a lower price elsewhere. The kangaroo bus and gondolas helped us get around the park with no problems. The only hiccup was one of the vendors at a snack place didn’t fill our popcorn bag all the way full (what’s the big deal? Fill it up— it’s popcorn!) Also, the worker disagreed with the lady in front of us. The woman insisted she had paid with a $20 bill and needed more change returned. The worker insisted it was a $10 bill. It was very awkward.
But honestly everything else was a perfect day at the zoo.

My wife and I visited the San Diego zoo today. We had a great time and saw a lot a beautiful animals, including many that we’ve never seen at other zoos. In addition to the great animals I also liked that they provide free bus transportation within the zoo including one bus that stops at many of the popular habitats to view the animals inside. My only disappointment was the fact that I could not follow the map. I often got to a point on the map (they have numbers) but I could not figure out which path I needed to take to get where I wanted to go. The app was a little better because it can always tell you where you are but still I often could not figure out my next move. I couldn’t find a “north” or “top” button on the app so if the map spun around I couldn’t tell if I needed to go ahead or backward. In all we just walked around until we found what we wanted to see but I wish we could have followed the map better.

We walked the whole zoo and loved it just to give our feet a lil brake we jumped on the tour bus and ended up seeing some things animals we some how missed and got a lot of great information Karen was a wealth of knowledge and every employee jumped at the chance to share there knowledge lol we went on a Monday thinking there be no kids well there was like 6 different schools Field trips but with the space and openness it was easy toAvoid crowds and casually walk through they show they really care for there animals
