San Diego Zoo is one of the best zoos in the world and it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit. There are so many animals that you will probably take one day to visit all exhibits. The place is relatively easy to walk with only 1 section of the park with an incline. I am from Singapore and we have one of the best zoos as well. Both parks are similarly well-designed with a large number of exhibits.

It is very convenient to use Klook to buy tickets for the San Diego Zoo. Just show the QRcode to enter directly, no need to queue up to buy tickets. The guided tour bus in the park is worth taking, and you can see many animals! Polar bears are so cute! worth!

Smooth entry with the e-tickets. Expect to spend one whole day in the zoo. There are many animals/species to visit. Unfortunately, we did not see some of the animals that are away from their habitats or their habitats are being. We love the beautiful animals, and Skyfari ride that bring us to the other end of the Zoo with an amazing view. Highly recommended!

Now this is what a zoo is supposed to look like! The greenery and habitats are amazing. The bus tour that they have available is a nice way to see a quick overview of the park, which is about 30-40min in length and runs throughout the day. The animals are a lot more active than other zoos I’ve been to and they’re pretty close! We went on a Tuesday and got there when it opened and stayed til closing.
