I heard 4-5 hours is average, however I wound up spending 8 hours there! I really got my money's worth, and if you can, make reservations and eat at Albert's. It was amazing - you can sit by the waterfall and relax with some decent food.
It took us about 4 1/2 hours
It took us about 5 hours to see everything! That included time standing in line for the bus tour, the Skyfari and an animal show about pigs and wolves.
Really depends on how long you take to view animals, if you have small kids, if you see the show/talks. For a one-time visit, plan on the whole day. Children's Zoo is being updated so that is time saved. There are areas you can sit down for a rest. Skyfari (overhead gondolas) are an excellent way to get back to the exit at the end of your visit (with a bit of planning)
Thank you! We'll only be in San Diego for a short time and wanted to try to fit the zoo in while there. I have a future zoo keeper on my hands who would be in heaven.
Average 4 hrs, max 5 hrs
