Visit the Zoo in Your San Diego Cheap Car Rental
From young couples to families with small children, everyone will have a day of fun visiting the San Diego Zoo. A must-see place if you visit California and the San Diego area is definitely the San Diego Zoo. It is definitely one of the most popular attractions in the area!
One of the first things you should do once you arrive at the zoo in your San Diego cheap car rental is to check out one of the most unique exhibits – Panda Canyon. Here you will see five giant pandas, one of the world’s most endangered species. Back in 1996, the zoo was able to work out an agreement with China to house two adult pandas and their young cubs. A new panda bear cub was born last August. Only six different countries have pandas and approximately only a dozen panda bears live in the entire United States, so this is a chance of a lifetime!
Thousands of animals live at the 100-acre zoo, and you will see many rare plants from all over the world as you walk around. All exhibits have valuable plants to the region and will give you a great idea of the natural habitats of all the animals. The zoo is made up of nine different areas or main exhibits: Polar Rim, Panda Canyon, Asian Passage, Elephant Odyssey, Lost Forest, Urban Jungle, Africa Rocks, Outback, and Discovery Outpost.
Discovery Outpost has much to see including the children’s zoo, which provides over 30 animal exhibits for your kids to to pet animals and see them up close. The animal nursery has large windows that allow you to watch animal babies being bottle-fed by zoo keepers. Also in the Discovery Outpost area are hummingbird, insect, and reptile houses.
Elephant Odyssey is another rare opportunity you have at seeing one of the world’s most special creatures. Six Asian and one African elephant live at the San Diego Zoo. They have over 2.4 acres to explore and even a large pool that is perfect for afternoon swimming. Be sure also while you are in the elephant area to check out the lions, jaguars, California condors, and rattlesnakes.
Take a ride over the treetops on the Skyfari tram from one side of the zoo to the other for a great aerial view. Extra learning can take place throughout the day as you learn from zoo keepers about how they take care of their animals and fun animal facts.
Be sure to take advantage of many special zoo tours and programs also included in your zoo admission. A guided bus tour will take you through almost three-fourths of the zoo and allows you to get off at various stops if there is something you want to see. This is a great way to get to see more of the zoo!
