Let's face it, zoo food can be a bit...well, let's just say it won't win any Michelin stars.

Get ready to explore the Serengeti of savings and graze on your own delicious treats!
Can We Take Snacks Into San Diego Zoo |
But Can We Actually Sneak Snacks In? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)
Yes, you absolutely can bring your own snacks! The San Diego Zoo wants you to have a roaring good time (get it? Like a lion's roar?), and that includes staying fueled for all your animal-spotting adventures. Pack some protein bars for when you need a cheetah-licious pick-me-up, or bring some veggie sticks with hummus for a dip-lightful experience (okay, I'll stop with the animal puns... for now).
What Should I Pack? (Don't Be a Pack-a-saurus Rex)
Think smart and pack light. While you can bring a backpack or cooler-sized bag, remember, large coolers are a no-no. The San Diego Zoo doesn't have storage for these behemoths, and you wouldn't want to wrangle a giant cooler around all day – trust me, your arms will be thanking you later.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Focus on easy-to-carry, mess-free options. Fruits, veggies with dip, sandwiches, and protein bars are all great choices. Avoid bringing anything with strong smells that might attract unwanted attention (from either humans or curious critters!).
Packing for Allergies? No Worries! The San Diego Zoo is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. Just pack what you need and have a fantastic zoo- Abenteuer (that's German for adventure)!
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Hydration Nation: Don't Be a Dehydrated Desert Dweller
Bring a refillable water bottle! Staying hydrated is key, especially under the San Diego sun. The zoo has plenty of water fountains to keep you topped up, and you'll be saving money and the planet by avoiding single-use plastic bottles.
Bonus Tip: Freeze your water bottle before you go. It will stay colder longer, and you'll have a refreshing treat as it melts throughout the day.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
