San Diego Wild Animal Park
Aside from the San Diego Zoo, the
San Diego Wild Animal Park is the top place in San Diego to view
animals. Over the span of 1,800 acres, the animal park gives
animals the space they need to run and play. The animals here
play just like they do in the wild, which almost makes you feel
as if you are in their native lands of Africa and Asia.
Throughout the 30 year history of the animal park, the Noah's
Ark symbol of endangered species has grown to hold dozens upon
dozens of animals. Currently, every Arabian Oryx living in the
wild is the descendant stock from the San Diego Wild Animal
Park.
In the park, there are numerous different paths you can take to
go see the smaller animal exhibits. Although the smaller animals
are quite entertaining, the key thing you must really see is the
hour long trip on the Bush Line Railway. Along the railway,
you'll see animals that you'd never get the opportunity to see
anywhere else, such as the white rhino and the rhinoceros.
If you choose to visit the park in the summer, it's always a
good idea to visit early. On a normal summer day, ten to fifteen
thousand people will visit the park. During the winter, the
number is down to about 2,000 people who will visit per day.
Although it's much colder in the winter, the park is less
frequent with people looking to see the animals the park offers.
You can find the animal park 32 miles north of Escondido in San
Diego. The park is in a calm area, which makes the situation a
lot better for the animals that live there.
When visiting in the summer, it's a spectacular idea to go it on
foot for a while, and then take the railway. After you have
ridden the railway a bit, you can walk some more. It's also good
to take plenty of sunscreen with you as well, as summer at the
park can get pretty hot. Bringing water is a great idea as well,
simply because the summer in California can be a bit of a
scorcher.
The San Diego Wild Animal Park is run by the San Diego
Zoological Society. The society also operates the San Diego Zoo,
which is one of the most celebrates animal parks in the whole
world. With the park and the zoo, the society does more than its
part to bring the best of the animal world to you.
The next time you are in San Diego or if you are coming for the
first time, the Wild Animal Park is a perfect place to visit.
You can check out some truly endangered species and learn more
about the types of animals that you'll see in this incredible
opportunity.
