Not the best.......2007-07-06

My [..] loved the Baby Genius children's songs DVDs so I purchased this thinking it would be a hit also. This one is not the same as the others. It is mostly just animals from the zoo with a classical music score. It is pleasant to watch and listen to, but it doesn't keep their attention for very long. The kids really prefer the videos with a lot of action and other children to watch.

Baby Genius - A Trip to the San Diego Zoo - ok for maybe young children.......2007-02-26

This would maybe be ok for younger children under 1 that like to see animals, but don't expect them to sit through it, our 18 month old get's bored about 1/4 way through and is done.

Dissappointed.......2006-12-28

I agree with most of the other reviewers in that the Baby Genius series is not very educational.

The images are very good, but the rapid pace between them doesn't allow such young viewers to distinguish or enjoy them. Before my son (2 yr 4 months) can recognize an animal and begin to say what it is, the video has already moved on to another animal and/or shot.

Baby Einstein is clearly a higher quality product if you're looking for an educational video series.

If you enjoy essentially a very fast slide show of animals with orchestral music in the background, then this video series is for you.

Baby Genius - A Trip to the San Diego Zoo.......2006-12-08

My son is 19 Months and we have been watching the DVD for the last 8 Months and loving it every time. I never get tired of it and it quiets him down. He was so sick for 3 weeks and we wouldn't have gotten thru it without the DVD. The music is nice and soft so you can fall asleep to it. And it's broken up into segments - categories of animals - so I can tell him after the bears we are going to bed. He knows it so well now he will ask me to fast forward to a part he wants to see. I do wish they would show the names of all the animals on the screen because I have to say there are a few that I don't know what they are. I love it - wish there were more - trip to the Aquarium, trip to the museum.
We have a bunch of the other DVDs and he hasn't been interested in watching the other title or the Baby Einstien ones. This one is the best.

Not really impressed..........2005-12-28

I thought this DVD a bit slow, but I gave it 4 stars because my nieces really like it. This was given as a gift to my son but my boys don't care much for it. I think it just depends on what types of videos the child it's intended for enjoy. My boys like DVDs with a lot of music and singing (i.e. Blue's Clues, Veggie Tales) and this one is not for them.

My oldest son loves trips to the zoo, so this DVD might be better if it had animal noises in it as well as the music.

I think it's a fantastic concept and maybe the boys will grow to like it, but right now it seems to not interest them.

When drizzly weather keeps the toddlers indoors, A Trip to the San Diego Zoo will bring sunshine and smiles into their day. Produced by the multi-award-winning Baby Genius group, this 40-minute tour captures panda bears, monkeys, and tigers as they romp through their gorgeous San Diego Zoo environs. An equally spirited group of youngsters pets ponies in the Children's Zoo, plays chase with the polar bears (outside of their watery enclosure, of course), and giggles at the comical gorillas. Mild classical music accompanies this wordless show, making the whole effect more of a backdrop to toddler activity than an interactive experience. To break the trance, the occasional computer-generated tour guide--a 3-D cartoon character--slides into view, to wave at the audience or to introduce a new group of animals. A quiet review of the alphabet and a bonus sing-along complete the show. --Liane Thomas

Keeps my[..]daughter's interest.......2007-05-17

I was lucky enough to grow up with regular visits to the San Diego Zoo. This DVD has great footage of animals up close and excellent music. It really holds my daughter's interest and she requests it. It is nothing like a Little Einstein DVD (no inane and unskilled puppetry), and I am really thankful for that. I plan to buy more DVDs by the same folks to made "A Trip to the San Diego Zoo."

Great Movie!.......2006-03-10

If you want the true experience of the San Diego Zoo, this is the movie for you! We bought the movie after our trip to the San Diego Zoo and the kids loved that all of the places they were seeing on the t.v were what we had seen at the zoo. There is so much footage of the animals in their habitats and in action and not a lot else and that was exactly what we were looking for.

Wonderful Trip to the Zoo.......2006-02-22

My 18 month old daughter got this video as a Xmas gift and loves it. She is not interested in watching TV in general unless there are animals on TV. We watch occasionally before nap/bedtime or lately when we were all home sick. The background music is nice and allows you to discuss the video with your child. She now talks about what the animals are doing during the video and tries to count or say ABCs when they come up on the screen.

EXCELLENT!!!!.......2005-07-13

From my 5 month old to my 20 month old, BOTH are actually entertained the ENTIRE length of the DVD. I am so happy with this DVD it is unbelievable. I even purchased two portable DVD players for our vehicle because they wanted to watch it all the time and because they currently face different directions in the car, I have had to purchase a second DVD of this video. I recommend this to anyone who has a child interested in animals or just likes to listen to classical music and view animals without having to listen to quarky talk overs from adults trying to catch the attention of your little one. This DVD does not need any help in its attention getting!!! WE LOVE this DVD!!! Thank you so much. More zoos should have Baby Genius put out a DVD on their parks. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

the BEST video.......2004-06-23

My 2 y/o LOVES this video!!! This is the one that is always asked for...and several times a day.

The Baby Genius videos are designed to be watched with a parent so the parent and tot can talk about what they are watching. A great concept especially since tots aren't supposed to be watching any TV if under 2.
