With thousands of wild animals including many on the endangered species list, its no wonder that San Diego Zoo is world famous. With more than 4,000 animals representing 800 species, San Diego Zoo is home to a diverse collection of animals, many of which are rarely seen at other zoos.
Either spend another day at the San Diego Zoo, or receive admission to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, located about 35 miles (55 km) away from the zoo. At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, you will be inspired by the African Serengeti and the endless expanses of the Asian plains, the 1,800-acre San Diego Zoo Safari Park offers you an exotic safari adventure unlike any other outside of Africa itself.
With mobile tickets, simply scan your phone for direct entry into the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park.

I love to visit zoos wherever my travels take me. The San Diego Zoo and Safari park is the greatest I have ever been in. The variety of animals is breathtaking. This is my second visit to the zoo/park and I recommend it to anyone visiting the SD area.

Both the zoo and the safari park are must sees in San Diego. Getting there first thing in the morning allowed us to avoid the line ups and see the animals still active.

1. They’re the same price as the website.
2. They don’t scan properly at the gate because of a letter in the serial number.
3. They don’t require a specific date at the zoo or safari even though Viator makes you choose one
4. Customer service sucked when I called for help.
The zoo/safari employees were excellent and very understanding (we weren’t the only ones having the same issue) but it did make entry to both places a lot more frustrating and time consuming than it should have been. Until they figure out how to fix this problem, save yourself the trouble and just purchase them from the website.
