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.

First, Headout made it seamless to get tickets. The Zoo was wonderful. Been a while since my last Zoo experience. Got plenty of exercise, took lots of pictures, and starting with the bus ride was a good start. Looking forward to coming back to San Diego.

The convenience of the frequent stops allowed for exploring many places in a short amount of time, while the knowledgeable guides added engaging personal twists to the experience. Overall, it was a fantastic trip that inspired a strong recommendation and a desire to take it again.

We have been to San Diego many times, but never taken the Hop on Hop off Trolley before. All of the drivers were friendly and informative. We saw and learned about places we had never been, like the Barrio Logan, Little Italy, and the amazing Star of India and other ships that we could explore! It was a great way to see the beautiful architecture of the city and enjoy the variety of the areas so conveniently. We give it 10 stars!!

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.

This site was easy to use. They were courteous and sent me a reminder the day before my visit . They will also notify if there is anything that might impact your visit. They send you your ticket via email so it's one less thing to worry about. The only modification that might have made it better would be if they had some sort of attachment to the weather app so if you're booking within that week that you would have an idea of what your visit would be like weather wise. I was happy with the use of this site and I will use it again.
