The landscaping is nice, but the place is very unpleasant to be in; extremely hot, unbearably sunny, with a confusing layout --even with maps-- with lots of lengthy walks from one habitat to another, and no staff to assist or give directions. After paying a pricey admission + safari ride and parking, taking a shutle from parking area, it takes... more

Just went to the WAP today. It was a waste of money. We bought the upgraded ticket that included the tram ride. We thought that this would like a safari - that we would board a tram and that would take us EVERYWHERE. We were wrong. We had to walk a LONG ways in the HOT HOT sun down to... more

My daughter and I visited the Wild Animal Park for the first time in August 2008. We decided after getting there to do the Photo Caravan tour as a friend highly recommended it. We enjoyed the tour very much but it was different than I expected. I thought we would be more remote from the main part of the park... more

Okay--I'll start with the tips. Get there right when it opens if you are visiting in the summer--it gets really hot (it does not have an ocean breeze). Go straight to the safari tour to avoid lines later. Get seats on the left side of the train thing for best views. Bring your own water and lots of it or... more

My husband & I went to the WAP on our anniversary. We bought the San Diego 3 for 1 ticket, so we had already visited the Zoo and Sea World. If you plan on visiting both the Zoo & the WAP, I would personally recommend seeing the Zoo first, otherwise, you will be disappointed. We wanted to partake of a... more

I went to the Wild Animal Park on June 26, 2008 with my 6 year old son, who loves animals. I was pleasantly surprised by the park. I was expecting it to be hot and tough to get around with a smaller child, but we had a great day. The weather was a bit milder (about 85 degrees) than expected... more

My boyfriend and I went to San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park on June 25th, 2008 and spent the money for the Deluxe Photo Safari tour. Our guides, Lee and Pat, were fantastic. Lee was extremely knowledgeable, answered every question we had, and happily volunteered to take pictures. At one point my hat blew off my head and without even... more

We spent a day at the Wild Animal Park in June and loved it. The location is beautiful, in a valley among luxurious scenery. I very highly recommend the Photo Caravan Safari. We did the Adventure Africa safari, and totally loved it. Our tour guide Barbra was very knowledgeable, and knew all the animals by name. She had so many... more

The price for the attraction is outlandish! We made the mistake of eating at the Thorntree Terrace in the park. The food was handled by three different people who were not wearing plastic gloves or hair nets! One girl ran her hands through her hair and then continued touching our food. The fish was still raw! There was a bug... more
