The San Diego Zoo features many exotic animal exhibits including panda bears, lions, reptiles, and gorillas. Experience the VIP Tours and see the Zoo the way everyone wishes they could...from behind the scenes!  Filled with experiences and information you couldn't get anywhere else, the tour includes a private cart/bus tour and three off-exhibit areas featuring special views of the animals. 

At the zoo you can feed a giraffe, watch the antics of the cuddly pandas, be amazed as the orangutans and siamangs climb and swing in the same terrain as they would in the wild, get to know the six beautiful South African lions in their new Lion Camp habitat. There's so much to see and do, you'll need a full day and more to take in all the wonders of the animal world the zoo has to offer.

The 100-acre San Diego Zoo is operated by the not-for-profit Zoological Society of San Diego. The Zoological Society is dedicated to the conservation of endangered species and their habitats and engages in conservation and research work around the globe. The Zoological Society also manages the 1,800-acre San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park (more than half of which has been set aside as protected native species habitat) and the center for Conservation and Research for Endangered Species (CRES).  Purchase San Diego Zoo Tickets Here!
