Quote: Better than the zoo, the Wild Animal Park is more up close and personal. We seem to have more fun here with the grand kids, they adore the meerkats romping and playing. And the baby (animal) nursery. They have re-vamped the tram/train with a new... Read the full Wild Animal Park review

Quote: After driving several hours to get here without directions, and conveniently finding out that this park is not in San Diego, we finally made it—and what an experience. The rest of this review is coming soon.

  • 4 out of 5 stars by Gambet from Fishers, Indiana
  • July 14, 2003
Quote: The wildlife zoo offers not only fun for the whole family, but the zoo gives the animals room to roam. It doesn't give you the prison feel that most zoos have.
