SDZ Safari Park - Travel Guide

We brought a dear friend who was pregnant and were able to use the ADA services pick-up spots! That made it possible to ride the tram & select from multiple food options. Kudos! We LOVED seeing the only platypuses on display in this country & glad that the San Diego Zoo has been entrusted to breed them! Close access to the tiger family was fascinating & exciting. The Australian walkabout (kangaroos, wallabies, etc & the red panda) clearly offered a view into what it might be like in the Outback! Thank you!

App won’t let me load my membership, repeatedly sends an error message. Updated and reinstalled and everything. Won’t work.

Really nice

The app is useful when visiting but I have two issues, Please allow adding zoo passes to Apple wallet. This would be extremely convenient as you can easily open Apple wallet instead of having to open the app and it would also add support for passes on Apple Watch. My second issue is the map in the app is a little confusing, the scale is strange and it’s hard to figure out where everything is.

Housekeeping is on point. Give them a raise!

The Deluxe Safari Cart is totally worth it. Our guide Rochelle was the best!!

Can't find any information I'm looking for such as last tram departure.

This is the best zoo experience there is. I’ve been to many a zoo and none approach this Safari Park! Thoroughly impressed by its cleanliness, staff professionalism, animal enclosures, etc…plus we did the balloon ride which was amazing as well! Just go!!!!

Handy for looking up menus at restaurants and locating bathrooms!

We went early in the am. But many of the exhibits were still being cleaned and prepared for the animals that hadn’t even been brought out yet. ( elephants, cheetahs, etc) Around 1:00. They were being hand fed by the staff. So elephants and were not interested in coming over to viewers. Many of the animals were sleeping and laying around. Dont recommend coming in the am. After 2:00. The rhino and giraffe were running around. The gorillas started play fighting. So all in all. I would avoid the mornings. Yes its less people, but not much excitement as far as exhibits. Until after lunch time. Another option bring your kids to tire them out in the am with the parks, enjoy a nice sit down lunch AND THEN go to see the animals. Nice experience to see animals. Nice day. Great for kids. Bring your walking shoes!!
