Local Information:
The Greater San Diego area is full of attractions for all ages. California's southernmost city is known for near-idyllic sunny climate, pristine beaches, proximity to Mexico’s border stronghold of Tijuana, and a dazzling array of world-class family attractions including the famed San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park.
San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo, one of the largest, most famous in the world, has some of the rarest specimens in captivity with exhibits replicating natural environments of the animals. The 100-acre zoo was founded in 1916 by Dr. Harry Wegeforth, an enterprising San Diego physician who started with a handful of animals left over from the Panama-California Exposition. The zoo now cares for more than 4,000 animals representing 800 species. The Skyfari aerial tram provides a panoramic view of all there is to enjoy and 40-minute guided tours on double-deck buses over miles of winding roads help zoo-goers plot visitation strategy. Zoo Drive in Balboa Park. (619) 234-3153
