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.

This was an awesome day trip. The bus driver was very understanding when we got back to the bus 5 mins late.Its a huge place and we misjudged the time it would take to walk back to gate from the far end of the zoo.I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting a day out from Los Angeles. Great not to have to worry about parking etc, and to get dropped right out side the entrance was fantastic.The gardens at this zoo are an attraction on their own. Beautiful tropical rain forest atmosphere, with plenty of shade on a scorching day.

Customer service was fantastic, I called in and someone picked up the phone right away, and it was a breeze arranging the pick up times with the man on the phone. The bus driver and other employees at the main office were extremely friendly, upbeat, and cheerful. Timing was perfect for all pick ups, and the trip was very efficient. I do wish we had more time at the destination, though. Overall, it was awesome, and we would definitely go on another trip with them again in the future.

Very good company. Punctual. Everyone was very friendly and the drivers were very good. The last driver I had was excellent. He was so cheerful and ful of useful little nuggets of information about the local area. Was delighted to give him a very generous tip.

The trip down wasn't that great as there was a whining kid on the bus which made the trip unpleasant. We had a great time at the Zoo and the trip home was really great as the bus driver put in a video for all to watch.
