SD Zoo is awesome but I also recommend the Wild Animal Park if you can get there - it's much better. If you go to the zoo you will walk a LOT (and there are a lot of hills). It's a good workout on top of being educational so plan ahead and wear comfortable shoes.

One thing that sticks in my mind is how many species of birds they have. Lots and lots and lots and LOTS of birds - some quite amazing. The panda is supposed to be the big draw but was always sleeping every time I got there so don't be disappointed if the same thing happens to you.
