San Diego Zoo Safari Park

A couple weeks ago we went to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We found tickets for 1/2 off online months ago and bought them planning to go there soon. About 4 months later, we still hadn't used the tickets yet so we had a free weekend and went. We loved the zoo so we were sure the safari park would be just as awesome, and we weren't wrong. Kai was so into looking at all of the animals, we barely heard a peep out of him al day. 

The safari park is absolutely beautiful. It was originally built as a breeding facility for the San Diego Zoo but they opened it up to the public in the late 70's. The park is huge and has regular zoo exhibits as well as a huge open area where the African animals can roam free together. You have to take a tram to see the free range areas, and it is pretty amazing to see the animals in their own habitats.
