San Diego Wild Animal Park
San Diego Wild Animal Park One of my favorite San Diego attractions is the San Diego Wild Animal Park, located about 30 minutes northeast of San Diego. This wildlife park is a dramatic 1800 acre animal and plant preserve in the canyons of San Pasqual Valley. See zebras, elephants, gazelles, rhinos and 400 other animal species in their natural habitats in Africa’s deserts, forests, and mountains. Bring your camera and zoom lens for some spectacular shots. Feed a giraffe, go on a safari walk, ride the African Express rail, take a guided tour, or even stay overnight at Roar and Snore. There are many fantastic ways to explore this park, originally a CA breeding facility for endangered species for the San Diego Zoo.What To See and Do - Ride the African Express for a 30 minute excursion through the park's five animal enclosures. Seating on the right offers the best view. The Heart of Africa Walk and Kilimanjaro Safari Walk are great too. For some extra money, you can take guided small group tours (reservations required - expensive, but a great group experience), or for a thrill, ride the zipline. Small visitors will enjoy the Petting Kraal.
