Overview

This ticket grants admission to both the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, allowing two visits in total. Visitors may choose to visit each park once, or visit one park twice, within one year from the purchase date. The San Diego Zoo is home to more than 4,000 animals representing 800 species, including many rarely seen at other zoos. One of its main exhibits is The Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey, which features a fossil dig site and habitats for elephants, lions, and jaguars. This exhibit also includes information about extinct species such as the mammoth and saber-toothed tiger, along with ongoing conservation projects. A typical visit to the Zoo lasts around 4 to 8 hours, depending on the visitor's pace. The Zoo pass includes unlimited rides on the Skyfari Aerial Tram and the Guided Bus Tour, as well as access to all animal exhibits and shows. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is located about 35 miles (55 kilometers) from the Zoo and covers 1,800 acres, recreating African and Asian plains environments. Visitors can see giraffes, gazelles, cranes, rhinos, South African cheetahs, and California condors. The Africa Tram offers a 30-minute guided ride past herds of elephants, zebras, and endangered species. The park also features walking trails through the Heart of Africa, a 32-acre safari trail with views of lions, tigers, and other exotic animals. Nairobi Village at the Safari Park provides shopping and dining options. The Safari Park visit typically takes 4 to 8 hours. The pass includes unlimited rides on the Africa Tram. Mobile tickets allow direct entry by scanning a phone at both parks. Strollers and wheelchairs are available for rental near the entrances. Giant Panda Timed Tickets at the Zoo are available only on weekends, are complimentary, limited, and require same-day reservation through a QR code system at the Zoo entrance.
