more familiar with Statue of Liberty in New York and Golden Gate in San

Francisco, but how about Gateway Arch?

The Gateway Arch is a Jefferson National Expansion Memorial which symbolizes

America's expansion to West. It stands at 630 feet high and is currently

tallest memorial in US - even taller than Statue of Liberty.

I recently visited San Diego Zoo, and it was much more fun than I expected it to be. First off, price was very reasonable. When you get there you have option to buy regular Zoo ticket or deluxe ticket. I paid around $30 for deluxe ticket which seemed like a deal to me since I am used to paying around $50 for Disneyland and Sea World tickets. The deluxe ticket is definitely worth extra ten dollars. It consists of a 40-minute guided tour, unlimited access to express bus that takes you from place to place, and unlimited access to aerial tram.

If you have never been to San Diego Zoo before, I would suggest going on guided tour first. It only lasts about 40 minutes, and takes you around entire zoo. The tour has plenty of stops where you can see many of most popular animals such as African elephants, tigers, and bears. The Zoo is huge, so taking guided tour is also a good way to familiarize yourself with its layout.
