I recommend walking in and immediately taking the free GUIDED BUS TOUR, and then proceed to walk through the park. START BY LOOKING AT THE MAP, and planning your way, I recommend starting with the giraffes. Don’t forget that there’s an elevator!!! If anyone is disabled, you can rent an electric scooter for $65 for the day. Highly recommended. I also recommend that you go on to SKYFARI at the end of the day RT, to get an overview of the Zoo.

I want to also say that they do not take reservations!!! AND THEY CAN SELL OUT!!! We always try to start right when they place opens at 9:00 AM. It's a good time to start anyway because the animals are wide awake, and usually eating. We also usually start by renting the scooter, then riding it over to the Bus Tour.

Hi Judy, Whenever I go to the SD Zoo, I rent one, as well as to the Safari Park; and to Sea World. These things are amazing. At the Zoo and the Safari Park, they are about $60, but at Sea World they are about $100. In fact, I was at Sea World last weekend, only for 4 hours, but still worth it!!!
