  2. 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

  3. I heard pandas are coming at the end of this summer and I'm excited to plan a trip to visit those pandas as well as other animals in this amazing zoo. I wonder if I can just take an uber to get to the zoo if I stay in downtown San Diego and catch an uber back. Not sure if there are decent amount of ubers coming into the zoo area to pick people up.

  4. Recommend parents avoid taking children to the Bonobo exhibit – they seemed intent on maximizing the craziest freakiest behavior and also seemed to target children! Yikes, do not recommend. Their behavior is likely affected by their smaller blander area, not at the same level as other well done areas. This likely makes their behavior more bizarre and compulsive than it would in the interesting varied wild. It made me understand why it was so hard to find in the park.

  5. last time i went here was summer 2019. i will be back for a wedding in april 2024 and will come back. has anything changed since then? thank u so much for the video.

  6. Can u bring lunch boxes, not sure if those are considered coolers, if possible someone please answer ASAP, I'm going to San Diego for a week starting the 16th and would like to be as prepared as possible

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. So there you are in front of the elephants. And the really cool thing about those guys is that they have really, really, really long trunks, and that's cool. And that's pretty much all there is to say.

  10. Hi Chris, thank you for being so gracious when I met you at the zoo. I really enjoy watching your vlog and appreciate your helpful travel tips!!!! Cheers, happy holidays to you and your family!!!!

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. In most of December you can stay late at the Zoo and they have additional nighttime shows. The Zoo also has red pandas, much small and cuter and more active than the black and white ones.

  14. One of my dream destinations. I havent been because, i need to find other reasons to go to San Diego other than the zoo to make me feel like it's worth going. But one day.. 😅. Great video 👍

  15. 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.

  16. 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!

  17. 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!

  18. 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!
