San Diego - San Diego Wild Animal Park

Get up close and personal with wild animals at the San Diego Park. We're talking native animals of Africa, the Brazilian Amazon and other exotic places in the world. The park offers tours throughout their various exhibits, including the Savanna Cool Zone. You'll travel through the habitats of giraffes, elephants and even lions!

San Diego - San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo is home to hundreds of different animals from panda bears to flamingos. This year, a brand new exhibit has been added called Monkey Trails and Forest Tales. This new exhibit houses 30 different species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The Monkey Trails allow you to walk through this unique habitat on a pathway that has been built through the tree canopy! From monkeys to exotic pigs, you'll encounter it all at the San Diego Zoo! An interesting fact is that it took 1,300 truck loads of dirt to build the Monkey Trails habitat - that amount of dirt would fill 213 buses. For more information, head to www.sandiegozoo.org
