SDZ Safari Park - Travel Guide

We brought a dear friend who was pregnant and were able to use the ADA services pick-up spots! That made it possible to ride the tram & select from multiple food options. Kudos! We LOVED seeing the only platypuses on display in this country & glad that the San Diego Zoo has been entrusted to breed them! Close access to the tiger family was fascinating & exciting. The Australian walkabout (kangaroos, wallabies, etc & the red panda) clearly offered a view into what it might be like in the Outback! Thank you!

This was my first time visiting the safari park with my family and I downloaded the map right away. I loved that it gave updates and events that day and knew my current location. I also loved that I found filter the map by animals, attractions, food, etc. The problem I had was the map wouldn’t face the way I was going or even adjust to recently as I walked from place to place, so I often found myself taking a wrong turn and not realizing it until the blue line starting growing instead of shrinking on my directions. There were also a few times when the map said I wasn’t even on a path and I definitely was. I ended up using the paper map by the end of the day.

A great experience well worth doing. The park does a phenomenal job pre-training you for the zipline! First they set you up with your flight gear, show you a video, explain the process while answering all your questions. Next they provide a box you put your personal property in so you won’t lose it on your flight, which protects your property and the animals below. (At the box office, they also offer a cool phone strap you may purchase for $10 so you can video your experience without fear of losing your phone. Wish I bought two of them. Best souvenir ever!!!) As a fledgling you will go on a fun test flight first before your 3/4 of a mile flight over the Safari animals. After your test flight you will travel in a Safari truck through areas of the conversation park where regular guest never see. Everyone is fun, kind, cautious, and professional. You are safe 100% of the time. While you zipline you will be sitting comfortably and your stop is similar to being on a swing. I could have done this all day! The view going down was amazing so don’t miss this!
