San Diego Zoo
On our Spring 
Break road trip, the next stop after San Francisco was San Diego. Saturday morning we had the luxury of being able to go to the San Diego Zoo. This was definitely our highlight in San Diego and we had great weather all morning. The Zoo was amazing and contained everything from tour and attractions, animal encounters, shows, dining and shopping. This Zoo covered over 100 acres and had many opportunities for people of all ages.
When entering the Zoo we were welcomed by the first exhibits that were in the Lo
st Forest. This exhibit housed flamingos, peacocks, and many other birds. When following the trail through the lost forest, there were tigers, hippos, monkeys, gorillas, alligators, and many more. The other exhibits were the Discovery Outpost, Polar Rim, Panda Canyon, Asian Passage, Elephant Odyssey, Africa Rocks, Urban Jungle, and Outback.
The Zoo was laid out
very well for tourists to find their way around to which exhibits they would like to see. There were also a few other choices we had for tours in the park to learn more about the animals and get around faster. The first one was the tour buses. The Zoo’s tour bus included a 35 minute tour that covered 70 percent of the Zoo. There were 5 different spots along the park where you could hop on and off of the bus. There was also a SkyFari Aerial Tram. This was transportation over the treetops from one side of the zoo to the other. This had a spectacular view, and you could see the whole park and where certain animals were, as you slid across the sky. This had two terminals, the East and West where you could exit or enter. Luckily for us we had unlimited access to both of these for the whole day.
Also, every day at the zoo they have daily features. About every hour they had a different show including presentations you could attend. As we walked by the Giraffe exhibit we could see that there was Giraffe Feeding going on, which looked amazing. Unfortunately, I did not do this and only took pictures because the line extended on past the exhibit. But being able to see the animals interacting with all the people were really cool. Another exhibit that seemed to have a line all day was of the Pandas. Everyone also seems to have a soft spot for these little cute fuzzy animals. The only thing we as a group were a little upset about was that the polar bear exhibit was being worked on was not reopening until the 26th. We knew there were 3 bears in the exhibit, but the whole thing was netted off and we could not see inside.
