Treehouse Cafe

"Dine Way Up High"

There are fast food eateries all over the San Diego Zoo, but the one with the best view is the Treehouse Cafe. The kids' menu is standard zoo fare and I usually get one of their wraps. It's a cafeteria style lunch, but you can take it outdoors to any of the tables at the multi-leveled decks surrounding the cafe. The zoo can get hot in summer, but you won't feel the heat with the breezes blowing through this area.
Hint: I've seen plenty of families combine some of the zoo food, with snacks they brought from home.
