The zoo lights event is ridiculous for the price and we arrived at 3pm and we were told we couldn't see the animals and the only ticket we could buy was the zoo lights. At $20 per person and WE WEREN'T ALLOWED IN FOR 2 HOURS. The cafe was closed so we were basically starving and walking around for 2 hours waiting to see some boring lights we could see for free literally driving anywhere in the street. Horrible place horrible people never waste your money or time here. SAN DIEGO ZOO IF YOU WANNA GO TO A REAL ZOO
