Review K.
Not a huge fan of zoos, but......
I'm not a huge fan of zoos. I feel like they are kind of cruel to the animals. However, after going to the San Diego Zoo and hearing about their conservation programs and rescued animals, I was impressed. I also thought the amount of space and detail they put into the animals habitats was generous and not as cruel as other zoos/aquariums/things like that which I have visited. We had a good time.
I gave this review four stars instead of five because A. I still don't love zoos and B. The food/drinks inside the zoo were absolutely overpriced.

Five stars
It was very crowded, as others have commented, but the experience is a five-star. My nieces were excited every second of our visit and I had a great time too. We are definitely coming back on our next trip to California.
