Call it bitching or what ever you want, the San Diego Zoo is not all that. Besides the panda bears this zoo was no better than any other zoo I have been to before. The cost was $21 for general admission (no tours, no sky lift, nada, I think if you wanted all that it was like $32) this has to be the hardest park I have ever had to navigate. Sorry but for my money I will take the Columbus zoo any day. Friends have told me to give the Cincinnati zoo a shot. Just my opinion but if your ever out that way and want to pay $21 to see some pandas and get lost this is the place for you, otherwise look the pandas up online and save $21. I admire the research part of the zoo but damn $21; they need to spend some of that money on signs you can understand. Sorry
