2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
Go early. All we saw was the parking lot. We spent a great amount of time circling around looking for an open spot. Every departing vehicle had at least three cars wanting the spot.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)
Smooth checkin and friendly staff. The location is super convenient. It’s an easy walk to the Ferry Building for the Saturday farmers market and to restaurants in Union Square and SOMA. There's even a Trader Joe’s right next door.

Do not go in the late afternoon. Zoo closed at 5 pm but lots of sites were close by 4 pm. Lots of area were under construction so call ahead to see what is available.

A lot of construction and closed exhibits / pathways in Feb 2019. Check to make sure enough exhibits are open before you go.
