San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Expect to be reminded of a certain dinosaur film as you safari through the 1,800-acre preserve that makes up San Diego Safari Park. Rumor has it that the writers of Jurassic Park visited Elephant Valley to get an idea of what it would take to enclose dinosaurs. While you won't find extinct reptiles intent on world domination, look for gorillas, gazelles, zebras, and giraffes as they roam in their natural habitats. Come nose-to-nose with a lion (there will be a thick glass between you, so you won't be lunch) and stand on a platform overlooking the park's largest carnivores in Tiger Territory. Whatever type of safari you choose, from the nearly mile-long zip-line to a Segway or a caravan… you can't go wrong in this park.

Reviews

You have the opportunity to see animals in as close to a natural environment as possible. This is an all-day experience; you cannot see everything in less than 8 hours. If you like animals, birds, flowers, and nature, this is the place for you. If you have been to the San Diego Zoo, and you have not been to the Safari Park, GO!
