San Diego Attractions

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.

The San Diego Zoo sprawls over 100 acres in Balboa Park, featuring over 4,000 animals representing 650 species. With enclosures mimicking natural habitats, you can see polar bears diving in simulated arctic pools and pandas munching on bamboo. Hop on a tour bus, soar in the Skyfari gondola, or stroll through the zoo for a day well spent.
