We had a wonderful day walking around and seeing many of the amazing animals at SDZ. The gondola and bus tour were fantastic (the tour guide on the bus was informative and friendly). Between the three we managed to see almost everything!

This is our favorite splash pad in San Diego! It is expansive with different types of water features. It also has two animal exhibits; a raccoon and monkeys. They have a large bathroom area and multiple places to change clothes. My kids always have a great time.
