While in the area of course we had to visit the world famous San Diego Zoo. We really enjoyed this zoo. They had some really rare animals and the kids enjoyed sitting atop a double-decker bus for a tour of the whole zoo. It was quite a bit of walking up and down hills, but we didn't mind it too much. We were very fortunate to find many active animals this particular day. Grizzly bears were very playful, gorillas were funny, four tigers interacting with each other was a special treat as large cats often sleep much of the day. The kids especially enjoyed the activity of the meerkats.
There were several animals we have not seen in zoos before like Koalas, echidnas, rare birds, and some really cool reptiles. I think our favorite are, though, was the insect house. The kids really enjoyed getting and up close look at some of the rarest and deadliest insects in the world.
This trip rounded out our visit to San Diego nicely as it was our last day in CA. We enjoyed the area very much and hope to return again for another visit.
