My husband and I planned a San Diego trip. We wanted to see the San Diego zoo. We purchased our entrance tickets through this website. It was so easy! When we got to the zoo, all I had to do was show my ticket from the Go City app on my phone. You have the choice of 1 or a 2 day pass. There are other touring events that you can purchase also.
