Wild Safaris in San Diego
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The zoo is wonderful, but I use my membership to visit the Wild Animal Park much more. With so much wide-open space where the animals roam freely, you get a sense that this is the next best place for them than the wild. Learn about the park and zoo's conservation efforts, research and rescue on top of the wonderful facilities and it's clearly money well spent. It's impossible to do the Wild Animal Park properly in one visit, so buy a membership and visit several times a year. If you only have a day, take the monorail ride to catch the best of African and Asian wildlife. My husband surprised me with a photo safari for my birthday and we got to feed giraffes, pet rhinos and see the animals close-up. It was amazing.

Pros: Wonderful Facilities, Shows, Enormous

Cons: Crowded
