Long weekend we used for south California looking for better weather, means no rain. We went to San Diego \u2013 close to Mexican boarder to see the best zoo in USA.  From us is about 7- 8 hrs drive. Long way \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Diego Zoo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Zoo is big and if you are with kids you can choose 2-day\npass. We bought 1-day pass: tip: try to find some discounts, because one\ntickets is $56. 1 day pass include skyline and tour bus. Before enter download\napp with zoo map, which help you to show route. We used app and paper maps\n(there are after you enter \u2013 take it). We started from visit from left side and\ncover part by part and right side where is polar part we left on the end. We\nwent back to skyline and took gondola to top and we saw polar part. Skyline is\nok, not too great view from the top, but if you want relax this is good. We did\nnot take bus tour, it takes 35 minutes and driver is a guide. If you cover by\nfoot you don\u2019t need take a bus, but if you want some more information then take\nit. Our  visit took around 5hr 30 min but\nwe had just small break for coffee. Be ready for huge lines for food. It was\nlong weekend so lot of people but not too crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We really like this zoo, they have lot of animals and we loved aviaries part when you can go inside between birds. They are flying over your head. There is beautiful collection of birds from Asia, Africa and Australia. For us was the best part of zoo. Animals are close to you so even with phone you can take nice photos, but take camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
