Description


San Diego Zoo Featured Exhibits

Ituri Forest:
Enter a lush African rainforest, complete with rushing waterfalls and exotic plants. Ituri Forest is the most complex, multi-species habitat ever developed at the San Diego Zoo, including sights, scents, sounds and information about the Mbuti people who live in this dense, tropical environment.

Gorilla Tropics:
Covering 2.5 acres, Gorilla Tropics transports you to the sights and sounds of Africa, surrounded by thousands of native plants and enhanced by audio of actual environmental sounds of an African rainforest. Observe the gorillas and their complex social group.

Polar Bear Plunge:
This exhibit of more than 2 acres brings the Arctic tundra south, with Siberian reindeer, Pallas' cats, northern birds and native plants along with polar bears. The focal point of the exhibit is the Plunge: 130,000 gallons of water-cooled to 58 degrees Fahrenheit. An underwater viewing room lets you see how agile and playful polar bears really are.

Panda Central:
Welcome to everything panda at the San Diego Zoo, from the amazing live Panda Cam to panda facts. See the pandas frolic in their simulated habitat.

Children's Zoo:
Don't let the name fool you. Our Children's Zoo is for everyone to enjoy! But there are lots of special animal exhibits and activities designed with our younger visitors in mind like the popular Petting Paddock, two animal nurseries and animals not found anywhere else on the Zoo grounds. The Children's Zoo also has a variety of gardens that are both educational and functional.

I know you were rebuilding some areas but I still found the zoo disappointing. Liked the Panda bear and the Polar bear.

We called the office to confirm the booking at soon as we arrived LA from Australia. We were told the pick up time is 8 am at the hotel main entrance the next morning . We arrived the hotel main entrance at 7:50am and waited until 8:10am but the pick up did not turn up. We called the office and were told that the pick up came at 7:30 am and there was nothing they can do but we had to do the tour next day. The office told us to wait at the main entrance at 7:30 am next day. There was no pick up turned up at 7:30 am next day. We called the office every 5 minutes to check and was told the pick up should turn up soon. At the end the pick up came at 8:40 am. We were extremely disappointed with this tour company because it had spoiled our travel plan. I will never use this company again and will never recommend other to use it.

Complete waste of 13hours and 30mins. Dont go unless you are close to LAX airport where the tour office is located otherwise you will be left sitting around for 45mins between each transfer. The bus drivers were great but the office staff were unhelpful and rude. And when you do get ther San Diego Zoo is a complete let down. Its imposssible to find your way arounf it as its not properly signposted and the animals are housed in horribley small cages. Its unlikely this review will be published but I hope it is so that it might help somebody to make a well informed decision about this day trip.
