Aruba Posted March 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Can anyone tell me if it is easy to go by taxi from the San Diego cruise terminal to the San Diego Zoo ... and back again? How much travel time should I allow? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOKC Posted March 18, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Less than a half hour. Its really not very far. I would think more like 15-20 minutes, unless traffic is bad. DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted March 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I was also going to respond that you need about twenty minutes to go from cruise terminal to the San Diego Zoo, assuming normal traffic. Also, the times we have been at the Zoo there has been a taxi stand with waiting taxis, so taxis are readily available for a return to the cruise terminal.

Splinter Posted March 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It is only about 3 miles to the Zoo from the cruise ship terminal. If you can, get the cab driver to go through Balboa Park over the Laurel Street Bridge so you can see the rest of Balboa Park either on the way there or on the way back. They can take Grape from Harbor Drive to 6th to do this, or go up Laurel Street which crosses the bridge directly. If you want to see a little of the park too, have the driver drop you off in front of the San Diego Museum of Art and walk over to the Zoo (about a 1/4 mile) from there.

caa Posted March 23, 2013 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Great website thanks for the link. I wish every city had an estimator like that. You're welcome! TaxiFareFinder actually covers most major U.S. cities. Just go to the upper right corner and type another city name there. I used to use them a lot when I was frequently traveling for business.

Splinter Posted March 23, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Also consider purchasing your zoo tickets on-line. Will save you having to wait in line to purchase tickets there. I recommend the package that includes both the guided bus tour, the Express bus and the SkyFari (cable car) ride: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/tickets/zootickets.html Also check out memberships. They may actually be cheaper than single tickets, depending on the number in your party, esp. if you plan to be back in San Diego again any time soon. http://donate.sandiegozoo.org/site/PageNavigator/MembershipBeneifitsLightboxes/MembershipBenefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
