We visited the San Diego Zoo for the second time in the past two years and will definitely be back in the future! The zoo is an incredible place to introduce children to a wide array of animals that they would likely never see in the wild. The habitats are beautiful and the animals are well cared for. The only downside of the visit comes at the end of the day when trying to leave the park. There is zero traffic control in the parking lot and adjacent streets, making the process of departure an absolute nightmare. If you arrived early and had the misfortune of parking close to the park entrance, you can expect to wait for hundreds of vehicles to exit the parking lot before you can move a few car lengths. Do yourself a favor and park as far from the park entrance as possible if you plan to stay until closing, it will speed your departure significantly.
