👍👍 Feel a certain way about zoo's? Good! It means you care. And fear not, the San Diego Zoo cares too. I wouldn't support it if they didn't treat the animals with respect and ensure they live a happy and fulfilling life. Many animals even get time on Safari Park to roam around. This is a wonderful excu...

👍👍 How is it not fun to see everything from the sky? A plus, you can jump to the other side of the zoo in just a few minutes. Or if you just want to get off your feet for a bit, you can definitely do a round trip and get back to where you left off.

The area will contin...
