Nice day
My wife and I visited the park together. We enjoyed ourselves. The park is very clean and well maintained. The only problems we had was the areas needed better signs, some of the signs were confusing. Like where the restrooms where and a better description of each area beside on the handed out map

Great value
Lots of excellent attractions. We especially loved the one off attractions; Patriot speed boat, the self-drive electric Go-car night drive and the self-drive speed boat tour. Excellent value and easy to use.

Q:What is the best month to visit the San Diego Zoo Safari Park?
A:
Most months are great for visiting the San Diego Safari Park, but try to avoid the hot summer months. It can get dry and dusty, and the sun can beat down on you in the summer, so stay hydrated and wear proper clothes if you go.
Q:How long does it take to walk through the San Diego Zoo Safari Park?

You can spend up to an entire day at the San Diego Safari Park, depending on how much you want to see, how long you stay at each exhibition, and if you have members of your party who need naps. You can also take the bus tour to get an overview in a shorter time.
Q:Can I do the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park in one day?
A:
No, planning the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park in one day is not a good idea. They are each huge, so you’ll want to maximize your time at each place. Plus, they are around a 40-minute freeway drive from each other.

A:
No, you cannot drive your own car through the San Diego Safari Park. You park in the lot, walk to the entrance, and from there, you can either walk through the park or hop on the bus for a thorough overview of the area.
Q:Should you buy San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets in advance?
A:
Not necessarily. You can purchase your tickets online or at the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park. If you book online, you will avoid waiting in lines under the hot sun, which might make for a smoother day out, especially if young kids are involved.
