Plan Your Trip To The San Diego Zoo With Undercover Tourist

Family Travel With Kids

This is a compensated post with Undercover Tourist and Mom It Forward blogging network. zoo visitThere’s still time to have fun this summer and there’s so many fun attractions here in southern California. We are what I like to call a theme park family, meaning that we frequent our favorite attractions often. With small children it’s very important to us that they grow up having fun and learning along the way. That’s why we like to make vacations and learning experience and the zoo is one of those attractions that are great for the entire family!

With the help of Undercover Tourist we planned a special trip to the San Diego Zoo. Right away we liked that you can save time and money on your tickets. You’ll skip the ticket line and head straight onto the rides!

Our San Diego Zoo Adventure with Small Children

We had such a great tie making our way around the zoo and seeing the animals and being so close you could interact with them. The zoo is just one of those places we enjoy spending time together because there’s so many new and exciting things to learn.

We love watching our kiddos marvel at each hump on a camels back, or squeal in delight when they see a large bird. There’s no place else that we can see these animals and it’s just a really great experience for your family.

There are opportunities for learning and a new and exciting animal around every corner at The San Diego Zoo.

The San Diego Zoo has two very special pandas so we were so thrilled to be there for one of their birthdays! Our oldest kiddo and youngest each had a great time at the zoo and both my husband and I agree that we can’t wait to go back!

    I haven’t been there since my daughter wasn’t even walking yet. I remember her pointing to every single animal. She loved it there even at a young age!

    This looks like so much fun! I love going on fun adventures like that with my daughters. We’ve never been to the San Diego Zoo, but maybe some day!

    Honestly, I don’t think there’s a better zoo than in SD!
    I’ve hit quite a few in my life and that is always my #1

    I took my kids to the San Diego Zoo a few years ago and LOVED it. That is the biggest zoo that I have ever been to with so many different things to see. I want to go back because we didn’t get to see everything.

    We went last September and planned to do it in two days. That way everyone got to see everything! Very fun!

    I love taking the family to the zoo.I find spring time the best time of year to go. The animals are active and the weather is not to hot.

    Aw – I spy panda bears! That is one thing we don’t have at our zoo.

    This zoo looks great/! I like the selection of animals. Our zoo is so small and does not have the selection as this zoo. Looks like your family had a great time.

    This zoo looks so fun! We didn’t get a vacation this year unfortunately. Maybe next year I will spend some time planning and save in advance!

    Oh my goodness, what total fun. I have never been. We have a small zoo here in San Antonio and we love going. Thanks for sharing your experience…

    We just went to the SD Zoo and had the best time! I think this is one of the best zoos in the world!

    I would love to visit this place! I love that they have such awesome animals. Our zoos just don’t have those sorts of species.

    I grew up going to the San Diego Zoo. It’s definitely my favorite out of all I’ve been to. I’d love to plan a trip there with my own family. I know my kids and husband would really enjoy it.

    It’s been over a decade since we’ve been to the San Diego Zoo, but I’m sure it is still one (if not THE) best in the nation!

    SO fun! My son loves all things animals – this zoo looks super kid friendly. We have never been to the San Diego Zoo, but I want to try it the next time we’re in California!

    A panda at the zoo! Oh how neat, I have always wanted to see one in person!! Looks like a really fun zoo with lots of great things to do and animals to see!

    Awe, pandas!! My son would love to visit this zoo. He has been on a mission to see a panda lately.

    We were at the SD zoo last year and LOVED it. We did the SD zoo safari park this year and it wasn’t as good as the zoo itself.
