Meeting eye-to-eye with lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, gorillas and other wild animals; viewing thousands of butterflies and orchards; enjoying a variety of scenic landscapes are some of the activities that make the San Diego Wild Animal Park famous. Each natural enclosure allows you to admire the wildness and its inhabitants for hours and learn their specific way of life.

San Diego is often referred to as a zoo capital of the United States. The San Diego Zoo is the largest in America and one of the largest and most progressive zoos in the world. It is home to about four thousand animals, including rare and endangered species. In addition, the San Diego Zoo is not a common zoo with traditional cages. All animals you encounter here live in their native surroundings: polar bears are in arctic taiga and tundra, pandas play atop the bamboo trees, and the orangutans and siamangs inhabit the tropical rain forest.
