Advantages: World famous zoo, what more? Disadvantages: Smell of the Flamingoes as you walk in - there aren't many downfalls!
...2) The Pandas, something the San Diego Zoo can be proud to have, they have top research facilities there and a new cub was born this summer. The line to see the pandas can be long, so if you see its short, go then!
3) i recommend taking a look at the massive yellow snake in the reptile house, it has been there forever and does not seem to be going anywhere, so definitely worth a visit!
4) The petting zoo, if you have young kids then this is a place ... ...restaurant like Denny's (they are around everywhere so try it if you like - something else i recommend!)
You can also visit the WIld Animal Zoo, which is further out from downtown San Diego, but offers a whole new host of animals to see! Enjoy your trip. ...

Advantages: World remowned Zoo Disadvantages: Colchester Zoo better!
San Diego zoo is reputed to be amongst the best, if not the best zoo in the world - but I beg to differ.
I mention in my title that Colchester Zoo is better. I truly believe this for a number of reasons. The enclosures for a start.
I was most disappointed with the size of some of the enclosures at SD Zoo. For example, the lion enclosure, whilst fantastic at not having to peer through glass or behind wire, was very small, yet interesting.
The lions ... ...After that it's good ole San Diego atmosphere only. Surely this has to be confusing!!!
There is a skyfari - cable cars take you from one side to the other. A great way of getting a different view of the zoo.
I would also recommend you do the bus tour, just to familiarize yourself with lay out of the place. Do walk this zoo - it may be steep which will be a problem if you have mobility issues or very small children - as it is a great way to work ...
