Great experience with the family. There’s a lot of walking but plenty of places with shade and sprinklers to keep you cool.
Lori_G, Jan 2026
Team members were very helpful along the way. The experience was grwat! Enjoyed all the beautiful plants and animals.
Geff_B, Jan 2026
May want to bring your own healthy drinks and snacks. Elephant viewing was a bust, viewing area is at the far end of the enclosure and they were not viewable all day. New Elephant exhibit opens early March…maybe the new viewing area will address this issue.
Douglas_P, Dec 2025
Unable to get the tickets and had to purchase them at the gate. Says I need to verify my email but it's already been verified. Also received an email that said the tickets are ready but could not access them.
Dana_M, Oct 2025
The volunteer staff is a great resource, they know everything and kindly share it. The park itself is laid out in a walkable circular pattern with e carts and strollers to rent if needed. Finally the wildlife viewing is AMAZING!!!!
JAYWEAN_H, Sept 2025
It was an excellent experience. The guide was available every 5-10 minutes way to lead to proper directions where we wanted to go. Due to proper advice we were able to see entire safari. The experience to see animals from next to them was fantastic.
Renee_H, Sept 2025
Our guide Delaney was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend if want information on animals and to see close up behind the scenes.
Mildred_C, Aug 2025
Loved it, beautiful animals, great zoo, filled with awesome photos opportunities. Great experience for families, singles and couples.
Michael_M, Aug 2025
Safari wasn’t that exciting not too many animals, tram was ok but didn’t really get close to animals. Some construction at the park which we never knew about couldn’t see the elephants. Sorry was little over rated
Tiffani_S, Jul 2025
Absolutely love this park. Must see if in San Diego. A lot to see in the safari park and the food is good. Fun extra tour took as well.
Joy_M, Jul 2025
Very good tour; clean boat; Great tour guide. The weather was gorgeous btw! The options to sit on the boat was a plus (dining area or outside, or top deck).
TahirHussain_M, Apr 2025
Our kids Loved the gas balloon, lion and tiger exhibits, the amphi theatre show and the merry go around. Safari with no lions and tigers during the safari tram trail does not make much sense. Lions and tigers are more of a zoo style in here. Too much walking and walk trails than the actual safari is very confusing. Overly presented and lacked the actual subject as they have more shops seem like a shopping mall rather. A couple of employees at the tram were rude and lacked customer service skills. Rest of the safari staff were very helpful and very kind.
Barbara_C, Dec 2024
Be prepared for lots of walking. It is a pretty open area. Not as many animals out there as the zoo. It was a great nature walk.
Walter_W, Nov 2024
My wife and I visited the park together. We enjoyed ourselves. The park is very clean and well maintained. The only problems we had was the areas needed better signs, some of the signs were confusing. Like where the restrooms where and a better description of each area beside on the handed out map
Isaac_R, Sept 2024
The tram ride was the highlight of the day. The tour guide was so informative and a delight. Lots of walking as the park is huge but with every minute.
Nancy_Z, Sept 2024
Great fun! We are senior ladies we rented scooters and had a fun few hours riding all over the park! Great people helping us!!
Drew_S, Sept 2024
The heat and lack of animals were the biggest highlights.
The gardens were nice but that’s as far as it went. Very very disappointing trip and expensive for the 6 animals we could see on our long walk. Will recommend our friends not to bother with this zoo
Vincent_T, Aug 2024
Very enjoyable and was able to see variety of animals and birds.
Crew were helpful and the entire experience was worth of money!
Daniel_B, Aug 2024
Gorilla exhibit was awesome. Parking at 20 bucks was a bit steep considering the cost of the safari tickets.
Kevin_H, Aug 2024
San Diego Zoo is amazing! Definitely understand why it is massively highly rated as one of the best Zoos in the world. If you go to San Diego it’s a MUST!
Jai_C, Aug 2024
Just amazing concept! I highly recommend the African tram and lunch at the watering hole restaurant.
Ramona_F, Jul 2024
Great place to take the whole family to. We enjoyed ourselves. Riding om the tram was a great experience.
Lana_H, Jul 2024
Absolutely loved my day in San Diego Zoo!
Totally worth to visit along, or with family and kids. Would recommend to anyone. Great experience.
Susan_B, Jul 2024
Amazing staff. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable on all aspects of the park. Had one employee recommend restaurants to try while in town.
Babor_H, Jul 2024
I had a great experience. My daughter’s first time in a zoo. She loved it. I will use this app again.
Genevieve_E, Jun 2024
Like any zoo visit, the animals are sometimes asleep or hiding in their burrows and or enclosures as you tour .
But yesterday, I felt like I got to see most of the animals in their habitat.
There is also Soo many food and beverage/ snack options throughout the entire park.
Jai_V, Jun 2024
I really wish the Viator gave instructions specifically on the items that exist in safari and what we would be eligible for and not eligible for. Its disapponting when the information is given in vague.
Sherri_E, Jun 2024
The park was phenomenal. It's like you're in Africa, Australia, etc., and what they're doing in trying to stop extinction for some of the animals is remarkable
AnnaP, Jun 2024
Although a wonderful expert the line for the tram was ridiculous so we had to get onto a safari tour that was very expensive and everything on the park is a la cart ! Should include more when purchasing a tour !
Lakeshia_H, May 2024
Cleats restroom, huge park, beautiful scenery and the tram. The experience was wholesome. I hope to come back with my family, I’m sure they will enjoy just as much.
