Originally constructed in 1972 as a means of preserving and breeding endangered animals for the San Diego Zoo, the Safari Park quickly developed a positive reputation of its own. What sets this park apart from more traditional zoos is the open free-range enclosures, which allow the animals to roam more freely. If you want to spend the day exploring different biomes while having a ton of fun, this is the way to go.
