I'm going to the San Diego Zoo and was wondering if the Wild Animal Park was inside the zoo, or is it like Disneyland and California Adventure (separate)?
San Diego Zoo - Wild Animal Park, yay or nay?

The Wild Animal Park is about 20 miles north of the zoo. It's totally separate from the Zoo. It's like being in a big Serengeti Desert as opposed to
the zoo. The zoo is your best bet. The Wild Animal park is HUMONGOUS and you take a bus or whatever around the park to see the animals.

Why would this be a "nay"? You get to see amazing animals in their natural habitat, not in a cage in a zoo.

Go to both, The WAP is really far away, in the middle of the mountains. The zoo is right next to downtown. I liked it, I like the zoo better, but the WAP's
look is more natural. You take this safari-like ride through the animals' enclosure, which is huge. I like both, tbh.
also, there are no real (obvious) cages at the WAP, just ginormous open enclosures.

The wild animal park is not worth the money. It's way to big and you don't see that many animals. Go to the zoo and sea world is great.

They're separate. I love both but at the zoo you see a lot more animals in a more concentrated area. The Wild Animal Park can get hellish on hot days. The
natural setting is really neat though.

Ok, thanks everyone. I only have about half a day to do it. So I didn't want to rush the visit. I can save the Wild Animal Park for another trip.

I agree with the others--I thought the Wild Animal Park was kind of disappointing, but I LOVED the zoo.
My parents had gone to the Wild Animal Park a few years before I did and when I explained our tram ride and such they said that they must have changed it because it was way better when they went. |
