The San Diego Zoo opened in 1916 and transformed animal exhibits with its groundbreaking open-air, cageless designs. Spanning 100 acres in Balboa Park, it houses rare animals like the giant panda and the elusive okapi. The Skyfari aerial tram offers panoramic views of these lush habitats, weaving through treetops and over exhibits.
