OP--The SD Zoo is definitely worth a visit or three, but the Wild Animal Park doesn't seem as cool as it used to, although it's still worth seeing, just not when it's hot. The only time I ever regretted going to the zoo was on Cesar Chavez Day; I had the day off, and had forgotten that it wasn't just government employees that had a holiday, but also school children. I like kids fine, but I had never seen it so crowded.

If you ever go, try to go when they have extended hours (in December and all summer) so you can see the animals that wake up at twilight. Most of the big cats just lie around all day, and the flying foxes hang around like old burritos, but when it starts to get dark, they wake up. It's awesome.

The pandas never seemed worth it to me unless you've never seen one in person, they're cute, but the line is insane. The maned wolf is cool, if shy and stinky (they smell like skunks and look like foxes on stilts.) The last time I went the big old komodo dragon had been replaced by a youngster; I don't know if the big guy died or what, but the reptile house is fun anyway. And it's been a couple years, maybe she's grown.

The snow leopard exhibit is really cool, but people occasionally get sprayed with big cat urine because the leopards have walkways over the pathway through it. And the lion exhibit has a sign warning people that the male lion will spray, but I've luckily never seen it happen.

There are California condors by the elephants, which was really amazing to see when the exhibit first opened, there were as many California condors in that one enclosure as existed in the whole world when I was a kid, although there's fewer now because I think they were releasing them into the wild, There's a combined monkey and otter exhibit where between the two species there's always something funny going on; I used to stop and eat lunch there and watch them. And they redid the tiger exhibit so it's easier to see the tigers. I used to bring a book and read in the walk-through avaries, just wear a hat or watch out for poop, especially if you're under a tree.

I went to the SD zoo as a kid, and would love to go again!

All I remember was touching an echidna, though.
