including the hands-on Children's Zoo, the Polar Bear Plunge, Tiger River and
the creepy Reptile Mesa. Be sure to visit the Giant Pandas and the Rainforest

San Diego Wild Animal Park - With over 2,000
acres of park areas to explore, the San Diego Wild Animal Park offers a more
natural setting to view the animals, birds and fish than the conventional cages
of a zoo. Take the 45-minute train ride and see giraffes and rhinos or stop
at the petting zoo to allow the kids to pet and feed gentle deer and goats.
The bird show is not to be missed and don't forget to pay special attention
to the carefully labeled landscape plantings.

centuries past as you stroll through Old Town. Don't miss: San Diego House (originally

Black American history), the Mason Street School (San Diego's first public school,
still holding history classes for the public) and, of course, Bazaar Del Mundo.

just Mexican) food. Visit Old Town San Diego
