i haven't been to many zoos in the past but my guess is that they will not be able match that of San Diego Zoo. They have a lot of animals here. If you had to walk the entire zoo, you'd be in for a lot of walking since the zoo is so large. luckily, the fare we paid ($35 for an adult) included the bus tour guide, express buses (there are two express buses) and sky tram. We used all transportation options to traverse through the zoo. We saw the giraffes - including a baby giraffe that was born just last week, elephants, rhinos, hippos, monkeys, gorillas, jaguars, lions and tigers. All the animals you would expect to see at a zoo. They also had Meerkats on display which were super cute - much cuter in person than watching on TV( meerkat manor). and of course, they had panda bears. The pandas were very active when we went. We witnessed one climb a tree with absolutely no difficulty and then navigate through the branches - i feared that it would fall but no, it seemed most natural. the other was eating bamboo which was very cute to watch.
There is quite a bit to see here at the zoo and it appears that this zoo is very eco-friendly - their benches are made with recycled plant materials and they aim to grow as much as the food in the park for the animals as possible (as an example, they grow most or all of the bamboo used to feed the pandas).

I grew up in Washington, DC where my dad was curator at the National Zoo my whole life. So, I know zoos!! The San Diego Zoo is outstanding. It is worth every dime purchasing a zoo membership. In the summertime, we go to the nighttime zoo and enjoy the spectacular extras like the painters and the living statuary. Albert's Restaurant is great for a nice glass of wine and light meal, making it worth the visit all the more!

If you're interested in seeing animals in more natural environments then you will probably enjoy the Wild Animal Park. While it would be impossible to maintain a completely wild setup with predators and such, this is as close as you could come in San Diego. Younger kids wont enjoy this as much as the zoo because your exposure to the animals is at much greater distances. They do have a petting zoo and other up close experiences including a bird flight show that is very impressive.

A great place to enjoy and have fun. Shamu is amazing with her tricks and its fun to see the dolphins, seals and otters at work. The penguin exhibit is amazing and I loved the red flamingos. The trolley and the sky tower lets you see an amazing view of the San Diego harbor and journey to Atlantis is an experience one never forgets. There are many great places to eat inside and the whole place is very neat and well maintained. Great fun for kids and adults alike

All you roller coaster aficionados already know this. While the ride is not long it is worth it. If you have never ridden a wood coaster you have to give it a shot, it's not just the ups and downs. It's the entire experience, the wood shaking, the noise...and the fear of it falling all apart. Well this coaster is very safe for all. There are amazing views from the top of the coaster; you can see all of mission and pacific beach. Fun time for all!

Even thought it might cost a little, its worth the money!

Mission Trails Regional Park is huge. I went to a trailhead that is located near Santee and near Kumeyaay Lake Campground. The hiking was really great there. They have paper maps that you can take with you while you hike. The maps also recommend other good hikes. The Kumeyaay Campground looked like it could be a good place to stay if I liked to camp. It had showers. The lake is kind of small but I saw a couple of guys fishing. Anyway, this is a great place to spend a morning!
