This is a great experience to take in after visiting the San Diego Zoo. This animal park is a HUGE outdoor facility that covers hundreds of acres. Very shaded walk ways which is nice as this is located in the desert, inland from San Diego about 30 minutes. The animals co-mingle in large "pastures" which are reminicent of their natural environments. Lots of great gift shops and areas to sit in the shade and enjoy watching the animals. The safari ride is available and definately worth every dollar! You take a ride in the back of a safari truck out with the rhinos, elephants, giraffes, camels, etc. Guaranteed to have a giraffe slobber on you!
