Now, this is a zoo not to miss on your visit to San Diego. The zoo resides in Balboa Park, so is easy to find. If you go on a weekend, parking will be challenging. The nice thing about being in SD for 6 weeks is we could choose our days and venues, and a weekday it was!
The lion statue at the entrance gets your thoughts and anticipation off to a great start. I mean, if they can freeze a lion that big, what else is there going to be to see here? Ha!
We started with a bus tour of the whole park to get a feeling for the layout and pick a few things that we didn't want to miss. Again, this place requires a lot of walking ... A few pix follow, although some may be a bit fuzzy due to the distance I was shooting from:
If I had to choose the Zoo over Safari Park, I would spend the time at the zoo. The presentation of animals is quite good and, other than a lot of walking, you get closer and see more of the creatures you expect to see at a zoo.
So, that's a wrap on the zoo trip. Next stop, friends and family, restaurants, good eats and maybe a short nap? More to follow ... stay tuned.
