Here, they can visit goats and bunnies in the petting zoo or see some of the adorable baby animals in the two nurseries. Everything at this attraction is made for kids, so count on them being captivated with this part of the zoo. Getting around the San Diego Zoo. Walking is the best way to get up close to the incredible wildlife, but the zoo’s steep hills may be a little too strenuous for some, especially if you have small children along. The zoo provides speedy guided tours in open two-story buses, or you can travel across the zoo more quickly using the express buses or Skyfari Aerial Tram. The San Diego Zoo attracts quite a number of visitors. Avoiding crowds can make your visit all the more enjoyable. Try to catch the most popular shows and exhibits early in the morning or late in the evening. As usual, holidays are not the best times to visit if you are trying to stay away from the masses. Plan to spend the whole day to enjoy all that the zoo has to offer. If you get hungry, delicious food can be found at any of the numerous fast food shops throughout the zoo. A fine dining experience is available at Albert’s Restaurant. There are many gift shops can also be found throughout the zoo, so be sure to stop by and pick up an exotic souvenir.
