Bob, The Wild Animal Park is a 1,800 acre preserve for the San Diego Zoo. It's a 45 minute drive from the zoo, but well worth the effort - must see attractions! The zoo was the first in the US to use lots of space to show the animals in natural habitats. The Wild Animal Park started for breeding purposes, but is more now. Hope you can get over to see them some day. It's really fun to ride among the big animals, even just to take family snaps. :-) Regards, Bob S.
