 Located in San Diego’s North County, the Wild Animal Park is a wildlife sanctuary and home to over 3,500 animals and just as many botanical species. The Wild Animal Park is a great way to enjoy Southern California’s beautiful weather while learning more about the creatures we share our world with. Just make sure to bring your walking shoes – the park covers 1,800 acres of land!
