""Huge"" and ""amazing"" are two words that leap to mind with regard to the San Diego Zoo. It covers a full hundred acres and houses more than 4,000 animals! A day trip ticket includes an optional bus tour and numerous animal presentations and demonstrations. The zoo recommends at least three hours, and animal lovers will find even more time than that passing quickly.

We loved our trip to the Wild Animal Park. It is much more enjoyable than a zoo environment. You get much closer to the animals and you get to feed some of them which is awesome. I loved feeling like the animals ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This is not only a great place to visit (plan to spend a good part of the day), but also a great wildlife program to support. Finally you can see animals in a place with room to roam around. There are ample trails to walk around ... more on Yahoo! Travel
