Wild Animal Park


This is definitely a must see if you are ever out to San Diego. The Park is an extension to the famous San Diego Zoo, but it isn't like any other zoo you have seen. I absolutely loved the safari which was a tour taken throughout acres and acres of land hosting all of these African animals. They all live happily together (except for the lions which are in a separate exhibit) and you really get a feel for what it would be like. It was absolutely incredible to see all of these enormous animals in something other than a cage or typical exhibit. Even the lions were up close and personal and the only thing separating you is the deep ravine that you don't even hardly see. The kids loved it and I am excited to take them again when we have time for the petting zoo part.
Another favorite part was the bird feeding. Roman was absolutely mesmerized and Capri couldn't get enough of it! The rest of us were just trying to keep from being pooped on. :)

My parents and Jon came which made it even more fun:After playing in the fountain to cool off:

Great times! We went to the Wild Animal Park last March and the kids loved it... You are lucky to be so close to so many things.
