Nature & Wildlife in San Diego

This was the Best Birthday present I have given for myself. The day spent at the Safari Park was Spectacular! It's easy to buy tickets on line and on person with ample parking. All the staff was extremely nice,knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly. This should be on everyone's Bucket List!!!

The San Diego Safari Park offers the best animal adventure experience I’ve ever had; there is so much to see, and you can appreciate wildlife in a truly striking and impressive way—it is absolutely worth it. I gave these tickets to my girlfriend as a gift, and she was blown away. There are plenty of convenient options for food, drinks, resting, and so on. The train or tram ride to see the animals has a "fast lane" style cost of $20 per person, but it is worth paying for; everything is very clean and well-organized. Seeing the elephants and the tiger up close was definitely the highlight of the experience. I hope to go back again soon.

When you're in San Diego, you simply can't miss the USS Midway. Everything about it is wonderful. The staff and former crew members who served on that ship are truly courteous. When you talk to them, you can feel their devotion to their country, to the flag, and to the esprit de corps that, in a way, defines all of "us" who belong to the Armed Forces.

You'll need to arrive early, but it's a great place to visit—there are lots of interesting spots and plenty of trails to explore. Set aside at least two hours, or more if you can.
