- Digital pass and guidebook – display on mobile device or download and print at home.

How it works:
- Pick a 3, 4, 5 or 7 choice Explorer pass.
- Download your pass onto the Go City mobile app and use it right from your phone. Alternatively, you can print your pass at home from your confirmation email.
- Once you have your pass, you're all set. All you have to do is present your Go San Diego Explorer pass to be scanned at each attraction and you're in. Visit your top 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 attractions easily – there's no need to pay at the gate, they’re all included. Please note: you can only visit the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo Safari Park with your Go San Diego Explorer pass.
- You'll be able to visit any of the included attractions. There's no need to select the attractions before you buy your pass, you can choose after purchase.
- Visiting your first attraction activates your pass. Your pass will then be valid for 60 days from activation. For example, if you have a three-choice Explorer pass and visit your first attraction, you can take up to 59 consecutive days to visit your remaining two attractions.
- There is no need to choose which attractions you'd like to see before you purchase the pass, you can pick and choose any of the Explorer attractions as you go. This allows you to change your mind and wait and see how you feel in the moment.

Insider tips
- ★Plan your visits around opening hours and book popular attractions (Zoo, Midway Museum) on weekdays to avoid peak crowds and long entry waits.
- ★Use the Go City app to check real-time attraction availability and plan an efficient route to minimize travel time between locations.
- ★Note that you can visit either the San Diego Zoo OR Safari Park, not both—decide based on your interests (animals in enclosures vs. drive-through safari experience).
- ★Download your pass before arriving at attractions; mobile scanning is faster than printing, but save a screenshot as backup in case of connectivity issues.

Who it's for
Best time to visit
Visit October to April when San Diego's mild weather (60–75°F) and lower humidity make outdoor attractions and walking tours most comfortable. Aim for weekday visits to avoid weekend crowds at popular sites like the Zoo and USS Midway Museum.
