Came here on Christmas Day 2018 and couldn't ask for a better time to go.

Although it was lightly raining throughout the day, I didn't mind. Most of the animals were out and even though it was pretty packed, the park gives plenty of viewing angles and space to be able to see every animal you want with just a bit of patience.

The park itself is very big, with an assortment of cool looking areas. From escalators to waterfalls, to big animal pits to smaller ones, to many different shops, restaurants and beautiful sites, this is definitely a special place to visit. I'd say a good 5 or 6 six hours is what you'll need to cover everything, maybe less on a less packed day, if there is one.

And OMG, they have a mountain lion! Yes!

Look how close I got to those lions, they were a mere three feet from me! Crazy!

Highly recommended and well worth the drive to see this place(From San Jose).

Next time I'll be sure to check out the Safari portion.

Thanks San Diego Zoo!
