    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.

    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.
  • 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!

    My nephew loves this zoo Iā€™ve taken him 3 times each time we visit he loves it more and more. Takes the whole day to explore the park itā€™s worth it.
  • Been there! Don't ask, just go! A Top 3 zoo, perhaps the very best in US.
  • @BillGreenAZ
    I'm glad you mentioned the multi-day passes. When I went to pay for my tickets at the zoo, the person taking tickets told me not to expect to see it all in one day. Another zoo that's of the same, or near, quality as the SD Zoo but not as big is the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. That zoo can be visited in one day.

    Went there and Sea World back in 2019, kiddos loved it. Last month went to go check out San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Pretty worth it going there for sure.
  • Thank you for the information! My friend and I will be going to the San Diego Zoo in July! We are looking forward to it!
  • @pdxaviation
    Definitely a bucket list visit. Thanks for another fun video!
  • @NostalgiaMan
    This zoo looks amazing. We have a nice zoo here in Indianapolis but nothing like this.
  • @Eaglesfan1925
    Canā€™t wait to go to the zoo my friend and I might go there to celebrate are birthdays since we are a month a part
  • We are heading to San Diego on Wednesday from Memphis. Going to the zoo on Thursday. Really looking forward to it. Thanks for the tips!!
  • 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!
  • @jameshiga8077
    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.
  • @scottman895
    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!
  • I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the amazing work! šŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ¤©
  • 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.. šŸ˜…. Great video šŸ‘
