This is THE BEST place to go if you're from out of town and want to take in San Diego. I have been many, many times over the years and it is different every time depending on the time of day and time of year. Due too the massive seize I highly recommend taking the bus first to get a full tour around the entire park. This will give you a good overview of what areas you want to Target to spend more time in. After you finish the full zoo bus tour then you can take the kangaroo bus which does short hugs, stopping frequently, allowing you to get on and off as you choose. I did the nighttime Zoo for the first time this year and it was completely different and the daytime zoo with all the big cats very active. Although it's mostly designed for children I love the 4D movie experiences which are located a few places in the park. Insider tips: Bring really comfortable walking shoes, wear layers of clothing as the temperature changes significantly throughout the day and different parts of the park and bring a water bottle you can refill as you go through the park.
