San Diego Zoo with Transport

Los Angeles, United States of America

Go on an adventure in the world's largest collection of exotic wild animals! At the San Diego Zoo, you'll find creatures from every biome in the world, from the frigid environs of the polar rim to the sun-baked soil of the African Savannah.

Each area of the park allows animals to coexist in replicas of their natural habitats, giving you an unparalleled view into the wild kingdoms of the world. You'll see gorillas and birds of prey in the 'Lost Forest', meerkats and big cats in 'Africa Rocks' and sun bears and macaques in the 'Asian Passage'.

The world-renowned San Diego Zoo is a leader in animal conservation, and strives to ensure the animals are housed in natural environments. From the Polar Bear Plunge where you can see these massive bears swimming in the frigid waters, to the rare Giant Pandas in 'Panda Canyon' lazing and eating through their days, the zoo is an excellent place to discover new animals and get up close and personal with all-time favorites.

Wander through San Diego Zoo's open-air exhibits and marvel at some of Mother Nature's most amazing creatures. There's even a petting zoo!

Nos gustó mucho el dia en el zoo de San Diego. El transporte muy bien, unas 2 horas y media con una parada fuera de los Angeles para recoger a mas gente y 6 horas completas dentro del zoo. Si os gustan los animales os lo recomiendo!

A really impressive variety of animals at the zoo. Even though the animls had large cages and lots of thought went into cage design, things to keep them busy etc, there were still a few animals (particularly the big cats and bears) that ddint seem happy. Always makes me sad to see this. I know zoos have their place but it is so much betterto see these animals in the wild, and having done this, I'll never really be happy seeing them fenced in. _br/_ But for those that cant get on safari etc, this is a zoo with plenty to see and keep you busy.

Firstly the local office telephone number printed on our voucher wasn't correct but they were able to give me the right number. VIP Tours office and transport centre was only a 2 minute walk so we didn't bother using the hotel pick-up although I think this is very useful if your hotel is farther away. We did get dropped off at our hotel afterwards tho which was great as it was a very long day.

It was a good day. The pickup was late but still made it to the main change point on time and the driver returned us to our hotel even though it was not a standard pick up hotel

Was a good tour. Zoo was huge and very hilly. Too many school groups put a dampner on the day. Rude kids an teacher's everywhere. The zoo has some great animals and enclosures.

Before I get to the actual zoo, I would like to offer a bit of advice. You get picked up and taken to a depot for the actual bus. Our hotel was in Anaheim, 10mins walk from Disney. We were told we'd get picked up at about 8.30am... for the bus to take us a 2min drive which we could have walked in 5mins... and had a bit of a lie in as well. haha. So my advice is to double check when you phone to confirm your booking is to check with them how far away from, might save you hanging about for no reason. Now to the zoo... it's only an hour and a half from Anaheim and the driver give some good info and also clear info on pick up times etc. The zoo itself is amazing and I'd recommend that you take the tour bus when you get in, you get to see most of the zoo and gives you time to visit the parts of the zoo you really want to see. Basically, it makes sure that you get to see pretty much everything. Highly recommend this trip, gives you the opportunity get up close to some fascinating species in environments where you get a clear view without bars in the way, plus you're supporting the great conservation projects the zoo is involved with -

I had friendly drivers who communicated well. I was picked up by the shuttle a little too early from my hotel in the morning, seeing as I waited 45mins-1hr for the bus to depart for the zoo from the main transit centre. Also, I had an issue with the way I was spoken to when I rang the local call centre to reconfirm my booking. This person was very sarcastic and rude to me, especially considering it was a requirement of the booking that I ring to reconfirm. Apart from that, my aim was to see San Diego Zoo and that I did, so I cannot complain too much.

San Diego Zoo is massive. I think normally a day wouldn't be enough but the day we went most of the animals were indoors or had just had babies so were not on display. We saw plenty of varieties of pig and birds though and the Pandas were well worth seeing, very cute.

For the amount of hype put into the San Diego Zoo, it wasn't that great! Could have been better but the transportation and our guide were excellent. He even popped in a movie to quench the 2 and a half hour ride.
