San Diego Zoo, San Diego CA

The world famous San Diego Zoo is a must for any Southern California adventure! The Zoo is located in Balboa Park in beautiful San Diego. The Zoo is 100 acres and is home to 4,000 animals and has a botanical collection with more than 700,000 exotic plants.

In August 1999 the first giant panda was born in North America to survive to adulthood. She has since been returned to China (all pandas are only on loan to zoos and must be sent home after a period of time) but the Zoo currently has four giant pandas in residence. The Polar Bear exhibit, Polar Bear Plunge, is one of the largest polar bear exhibits in the world. These are just a couple of the amazing exhibits available at the Zoo.
