The Zoo offers multiple levels of memberships and annual pass programs that include exclusive encounters and events like night tours and free concerts.
Before your trip, check the Zoo’s hours online just to be sure. Daily hours depend on the season and day of the week, but summer hours are typically 9am – 9pm and fall/winter hours are usually 9am – 5pm. The San Diego Zoo is open every day of the year, including all holidays. Here, visitors see the animal residents in enclosures closer to their residents’ natural environments than any other stateside zoo. Consistently touted as the best zoo in the United States, the San Diego Zoo blends the opportunity to view exotic animals from across the globe, the importance of animals living in their natural habitats, and worldwide conservation efforts.
