About this tour

This 2-Visit Pass gets you into both the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, about a 45-minute drive north in the San Pasqual Valley. Use it once at each park, or twice at whichever one you like best. At the Zoo you can walk through exhibits like Gorilla Forest, Elephant Odyssey, and Panda Ridge, ride the Skyfari aerial tram over the grounds, and catch the 35-minute double-decker bus tour for an easy overview. The pass is good for a full year from purchase and must be used by the same person.

Highlights

  • Walk through signature exhibits including Gorilla Forest, the Northern Frontier polar bears, Elephant Odyssey, Orangutan Trail, and the new Panda Ridge.
  • Ride the Skyfari Aerial Tram above the animals for wide views across the zoo and Balboa Park.
  • Hop aboard the open-air, double-decker bus for a 35-minute guided loop through most of the park.
  • Set across roughly 100 acres of planted canyons and mesas in Balboa Park, so the grounds feel part zoo, part botanical garden.
  • One of the first zoos anywhere to replace bars and cages with open, moated habitats built to mimic the wild.

FAQs

How long is the 2-Visit Pass valid?
The pass is valid for one year from the date of purchase and must be used by the same person.
Can I use the pass at both parks?
Yes. You can use it once at the San Diego Zoo and once at the Safari Park, or twice at either location.
How do I get between the two parks?
The San Diego Zoo sits in Balboa Park near downtown, while the Safari Park is a separate site about a 45-minute drive north in the San Pasqual Valley near Escondido.
How much time should I plan for the San Diego Zoo?
Plan on most of a day to see it all, or a half day if you focus on a few areas and use the bus. The site is hilly, so comfortable shoes help and mornings are cooler with more active animals.
