San Diego Zoo, San Diego (April, 2002)

 
The San Diego Zoo is usually regarded as one of the top zoos in the nation, but having gone to Sea World the day before we had to remember it is still just that--a zoo.  That means bars, sleeping animals some antiquated habitats and lots of distance between visitors and the animals.  For the high zoo price of $20 per person, we didn't think it could hold a candle to Sea World.  With that said it is still a nice zoo--one of the nicest I've been to.  (Although St. Louis is a pretty good one.)

There are three exhibits we recommend you don't miss and in fact we'd suggest planning to spend the most time at those three.  They are the pandas, the gorillas, and the meerkats.
