Hey everyone, my family and I are going to be at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park later this summer and I’m looking for tips and advice on routes to take to see the entire zoo. Could anyone (preferably someone who knows the ins-and-outs of both parks) help me?

I am planning to go to the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park this summer.:) I’m wondering if anyone has some tips for either park such as if a Cart Safari is worth it or if you are able to see the animals well from just walking around the habitats.

I was thinking about it, and of the 17 or so species of penguin, seaworld San Diego has 6 and San Diego zoo also has one more. Is San Diego the best city in the world for seeing penguins? (To clarify: Best city in this instance would mean the city that has the most species of penguins, but feel...

Following on from the brief discussion in America's Top 100 Zoos & Aquariums, I have made a sort of plan for 4/5 separate trips through the US. Of course, there will be a problem regarding cost, but at this point I guess it is best to disregard that :D Anyways, here are the 5 trip plans: Day...
