San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011We received our 1st koalas as a gift from Australia in 1925. These fuzzy marsupials are not bears, and not as cuddly as you think. They're actually independent, feisty, and often grumpy.
Thomas M. • February 24, 2017Been to the SD zoo dozens of times over the last 50 years. Always amazing, the zoo is constantly upgrading exhibits. Arguably one of the top five zoos in the world!
Paul F. • January 1, 2013Two new baby giraffes! Robert and Makali! Also here: Silver, Nicky, Harriet, and Bahati.
Tyler C. • July 6, 2012Went by later afternoon, one flamingo was being very territorial. Easily one of the most active attractions!
Katie M. • March 29, 2011Fantastically designed exhibit with multiple places to watch the gorillas from. Such a lively bunch.
Miriam G. • August 13, 2014The hippos both hang out together in the armpit of the underwater section of the enclosure. Great for a selfie with the beast!
K K. • August 19, 2014Beautiful outdoor setting with excellent pipe organ concerts on Sunday afternoons and, in the summer, on Monday evenings.
San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Mangabeys, mandrills, and guenons, oh my! There are 7 different species of monkeys along Monkey Trail, and they are always busy grooming, playing, eating, sunbathing, squabbling – and watching you!
Chacho H. • November 15, 2011Amazing jewelry, great art books (some say the best selection in San Diego), and a superb gift selection. Not a bad place to drop some cash.
Miriam G. • August 13, 2014An awesome new attraction at the zoo. The actual animal hides himself pretty damn well, though.
San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Tigers each have their own unique stripe pattern, like our fingerprints. A tiger’s claws can be up to five inches long, and they use them to mark their territory with scratches on trees.
San Diego Zoo • May 22, 2011The Lost Forest is home to a wide variety of animals, including our bonobos. Bonobos were not identified by scientists until 1926. Before that, they were thought to be another type of common chimp.
Cherie D. • July 20, 2010Bring a push cart, the art, hand-made clothing, blown-glass and woodwork was phenomenal. I highly recommend this center full of artisans.
San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011Our orangutans share the exhibit with another primate species from Indonesia, the long-armed siamangs. If you’re at the Zoo soon after it opens in the morning, you might hear the siamangs hooting!
San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011In the Malay language, sun bears are called basindo nan tenggil, meaning “he who likes to sit high.” They live in trees, and their 4-inch-long claws & large paws help them scamper along branches.
Michele L. • July 30, 2013Capybaras are my favorite <3
Sean M. • December 28, 2014Excellent museum! They have added so much since my last visit years ago. A must see for any aviation enthusiast!
