The San Diego Zoo is home to over 4,000 animals of over 800 species. It is one of the largest zoos in the world and has an amazing team of zookeepers. It is situated near Balboa Park on a 107 acre parcel of land in the middle of San Diego. It is always an experience to be able to see these animals and at times interact with them as well. Great for kids and adults alike. See the giraffes, lions, tigers, African Black Rhinos, Giant Pandas, elephants, birds, monkeys, and much, much more. The San Diego Zoo has an amazing range of animals and also of plant species. They have shows also that display certain animals as they discuss the facts about the animals and their talents. A scenic sky gondola can take you from one end of the park to the other, or take the bus tour first (recommended for a brief tour of the grounds). Here are some slides from our last trip to the Zoo -
