Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near San Diego

Katie M. • March 29, 2011The whole exhibit is amazing but be sure to check out the tar pit demo/replica in addition to admiring the elephants. Fascinating historical stuff!

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.

Sean M. • August 27, 2023One of my favorite parts of the zoo

Robert A. • December 29, 2013Beautiful and iconic statue, cool Bob Hope statutes near by too.

Liam W. • March 3, 2011A great family tourist attraction that adults and kids will love. Get there early, there is so much to see and the time flies by faster than you think.

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011The Zoo’s adult male giraffe, Silver, is more than 17 feet tall. With such a long neck, it’s surprising that giraffes have the same number of vertebrae that we do—each one is just much bigger!

Victor M. • March 17, 2019We love it!!!

Emily T. • December 29, 2018Food and atmosphere are great! We came too early for the free live music in the bar/restaurant but can’t wait to go back again, for more amazing drinks and southern food. You should definitely Go!!!

San Diego Zoo • May 20, 2011We have 2 gorilla family troops, and they trade off on exhibit. Each is led by a mature male known as a silverback. One troop is led by Paul Donn and the other by Memba.

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.

Hector R. • March 26, 2018What a great place! Beautiful and many talented artists.

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.

Syl P. • July 14, 2013Awesome place at a great price

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, 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!
