SO I RECENTLY TOOK A VISIT TO THE WILD ANIMAL PARK HERE IN SD CA. ALL IN ALL I HAVE TO SAY THE EXPERIENCE WAS LESS THAN COOL AND YOU PROBABLY DO NOT NEED TO GO AND TAKE A VISIT. I THOUGHT GOING INTO THIS THAT THE ANIMAL PARK WOULD BE A DEPARTURE FROM A TYPICAL ZOO AND ALLOW FOR A BOUNDLESS OPEN TERRAIN THAT I WOULD BE DRIVEN AROUND IN VIA SUPER 4X4 SAFARI WAGON. IT WASNT REALLY LIKE THAT. IT WAS PRETTY MUCH A REGUALR ZOO WITH AN OUTBACK/SAFARI/AFRICAN THEME. BUT REALLY THE WHOLE OF THE THEME IS A DESOLATE BARREN LANDSCAPE WITH LITTLE VEGITATION PLUS THE ADDITION OF CONCRETE ROADS AND CAGES. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE PICTURED ABOVE. THE BIG BALLOON THING IS LIKE A RISING OBSERVATION DECK. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE TO STAND AND WATCH IT MOVE UPWARDS.
