Wikipedia entry

“The San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park remains one of the finest zoos on earth, and that distinction is hard-earned: 100 acres of naturalistic habitats, over 12,000 animals, and a landscape that manages to feel beautiful rather than industrial. The Panda Canyon, the Africa Rocks section, and the relatively new Tull Family Tiger Trail are consistently excellent.”
