An adventure through the animal kingdom
The San Diego Zoo 1 Day Ticket offers an immersive experience into the world of wildlife. Begin with a guided bus tour, introducing you to over 4,500 rare and endangered animals. Stroll through the winding paths of the lush botanical garden, home to koalas, Galápagos tortoises, tigers, eagles, flamingos, and great apes. Here, if lucky, you can even pet and occasionally feed them under the guidance of the keepers. Now that's a rare treat!
Exotic encounters and hands-on experiences
Next, plunge into the world of the Arctic at the Conrad Prebys Polar Bear Plunge. Ever measured yourself against a polar bear or crawled into a bear den? Here, you can do both and even climb aboard an Arctic research helicopter for an unforgettable experience. Move to the Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey, a unique 7.5-acre habitat designed to mirror the elephants' natural environment. Don't miss out on the West African Forest exhibit, home to dwarf crocodiles and a stunning 65-foot manmade waterfall, Rady Falls. From the Sichuan takins to the Buerger’s tree-kangaroos, every encounter is designed to give you an up-close and personal experience with these fascinating creatures.
