San Diego Zoo & Safari Park 2-Visit Pass

About this experience

San Diego Zoo & Safari Park 2-Visit Pass Tickets Get up close with over 12,000 animals across two world-renowned wildlife attractions with the San Diego Zoo & Safari Park 2-Visit Pass. This flexible ticket gives you access to both the famous San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park and the expansive Safari Park, where you can watch giraffes, rhinos and cheetahs roam open savannas. Your pass works exactly how you want it to. Visit each park once for the full experience, or return to your favourite twice for deeper wildlife encounters. At the San Diego Zoo, walk through immersive habitats housing polar bears, tigers and koalas, plus take the Skyfari aerial gondola for overhead views. The Safari Park offers a different adventure with its Africa Tram safari through landscapes where herds graze freely, plus the thrilling Cheetah Run speed demonstrations. Both parks focus heavily on conservation work, so your visit directly supports wildlife protection efforts worldwide. From daily keeper talks to hands-on experiences at the petting zoo, you'll learn about animal care and research projects happening behind the scenes.
