I must start by saying me and my boyfriend were extremly disappointed with this park. We always visit the San Diego Zoo becasue we live a few blocks away, but this time we decided to take the long drive to the wild animal park thinking it would be more exciting than the zoo based on the size of the park... more

We bought the 3 parks for 1 card ticket from Costco and if you want to save that is the best deal if going to this park, the zoo, and Sea World. Having said that, this park was the only one that gave us any grief over the card. We stood in line and they said their machine couldn't read... more

We had reservations for a VIP Tour at the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park. We met our guide Stacy (hmmm meant to be..... same name as me and even spelled the same way) who fit right in with the four of us! Stacy took us through the park and told us all about the animals and how they're cared... more

We chose the Wild Animal Park over the Zoo and sooo glad we did. We went in May and the weather was perfect. Cool and sunny so the animals were active. We spent the money and went on the 3.5 hr Photo Caravan. It is well worth it. The guides, Rachel and Pat, were excellant and very knowledgable about the... more

I think this park is a let down. I will start from the beginning.To begin with regular parking is 9.00, when you reach the booth to pay they ask you if you want preferred parking which is an additional 10.00 a total of 19.00. DONT do it. The parking lots are so close and a train runs to pick you... more

I'm a fan of the WAP anyway but this trip I went in April for the first time and it couldn't have been nicer. The weather was perfect high 60's low 70's, light breeze, beautiful. While I have done the photo caravan in the past (ok several times) I know it sounds like a lot of money but it is... more

I will keep this simple. Open Range "Journey into Africa" • All of the animals in the open range are hard to see because of the distance, unless your lucky enough that they happen to be close by the edge. • The variety of animals in the open range aren't very interesting and there are very few occupying a large... more

This is a neat place and I liked the animals and the way it was set up. My only complaint is that I happened to go in August and it was crazy hot. more

I've been to lots of "open" zoos in lots of countries but this wild animal park in san diego is the worst. firstly, the park closes at 5 pm, pretty short opening period, but not a problem if you go early. You pay 10 bucks to ride on tram to circle around a habitat which resembles the real africa. sounds... more
