    San Diego Zoo Safari Park

    Ditch the city grid for the wide-open wilds of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, set in the rolling hills of the San Pasqual Valley. Hop on the Africa Tram and cruise past rhinos grazing on the African savanna or lions lounging in the Asian plains. Check out larger animals like elephants and gorillas roaming free-ish in sprawling habitats designed to mirror their natural stomping grounds.

    Easy to purchase the tickets and didn't have to deal with the hassle of lines or fumbling around at the ticket counter when we got there! Just walked right up and showed the code on my phone! Easy peasy!!🙌 Easiest part of my vacation planning!

    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.

    My husband was stationed here back in the 1970's, and it was so good for him to come back and reminisce , and tell me stories of what he did on the ship when he was out at sea. Everyone was so friendly and informative.It was a really good tour

    The tour around the savanna was our highlight. So interesting to see the animals in a natural environment. The tigers were also a special treat. We also enjoyed the kangaroos.

    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.

    It was an easy process on getting tickets and I like that I can get different packages for different parks or activities in other cities. I took my girlfriend to San Diego safari zoo for the first time and we had an awesome day. We stood at the elephant enclosure for some time and it was there feeding time so we got there just in time to see the elephants active and they had plenty of space to move around and play..
