Is it possible to enjoy the san diego wild park and zoo in one day?|199007

Also any tips on which one to go to first and any other info or tips?

  • The Wild Animal Park is actually 40 minutes or so north of San Diego near the city of Escondido. This would make it difficult to enjoy doing both places in one day.

    Tips:
    If you like wine, stop at Orfilia Cellars for wine tasting. It_s on the way to the Wild Animal Park. You can get a free coupon for wine tasting and a free logo glass at this website:

    Be sure to take the bus tour at the Zoo. It is a 45 minute tour that takes you to 75% of the exhibits. You can ride it over and over again if you want.

    If you don_t spend the entire day at the zoo, use the rest of the day to explore Balboa Park. You can catch a free trolley that will take you to the different places in the park. There are lots of gardens and museums to visit. For more info on Balboa Park visit:

    Have fun!

  • I tried to see the San Diego Zoo in one day a couple years
    ago. Actually, I tried to do it in 1/2 day - but to do that I had to sort of rush through it. And then I was exhausted.

    I_d suggest a whole day at the Zoo - that way you can take your time and enjoy it.

    I recommend the SkyTram if you need to get from one end of the zoo to the other - not only is it quicker, you won_t wear out your feet as fast.

  • I am a member of the Zoological society and I wouldn_t even bother with the Wild Animal Park this time of year. The lines are so long, and you see the same stuff at the Wild Animal Park that you see at the zoo. I went a month ago, and left after just 30 minutes because of the relentless heat, lack of shade and crowds. If you have been to Busch Gardens in Tampa, that is what the WAP is like, without the rides.

  • You can do both in a day no problem.
    Get to the Wap when it opens at 9:00am, you can take the tram and the Journey to Africa and see some of the shows.
    Blow out of there at about 2:00. The Zoo is about 50 minutes south. Take I-15 South to the 163 South, exit at Park Blvd. Bust a left on Park Blvd. then another left on Zoo Place. Should be about 3:00 when you hit the turnstyle. You can take the double decker bus tour inside the park and hang around till they kick you out at 9:00pm The Zoo stays open till 9:00 in the summer. www.sandiegozoo.org

  • Not possible at all. Both parks are an all day activity. And besides they are about 30 miles apart. I personally will visit the San Diego Zoo first.

  • Go in the morning to each one, but not on the same day. No it is not possible.

  • No, because they aren_t close to each other and they both take all day to see.

  • nope - you have to do one at a time.

    I like the Zoo better.

  • Both? Nope..... They are both full day events..... Either one is fine to go first.... they are differnt....
