The scheduled opening day of the park was set for Aphowever, the gates did not open until May 10, 1972.
When it came to naming the park, five titles were considered: San Diego Animal Land, San Diego Safari Land, San Diego Wild Animal Safari, San Diego Wildlife Park and San Diego Wild Animal Park.
The main purposes of this zoo were to be species conservation, breeding of animals for the San Diego Zoo as well as other zoos and providing areas where zoo animals could be conditioned. The estimated initial cost was $1,755,430. The natural environment zoo development was chosen over the conservation farm and game preserve even though it was the most expensive option. There was an idea for a conservation farm, a game preserve, and a natural environment zoo. In 1964, the park was assessed financially and then moved onto the next phase this resulted in three alternative developments. The development proposed would differ significantly from that of a typical zoo in that animals would be exhibited in a natural environment rather than in cages. The idea of the park began as a supplementary breeding facility for the San Diego Zoo, which would allow ample space for large animals and ungulates. The San Diego Zoological Society became interested in developing the Wild Animal Park in 1964. The park is primarily within the San Diego city limits, with an Escondido mailing address. The park is 32 miles (51 km) away from the zoo, east of Escondido, California, along California State Route 78. This zoological park and the San Diego Zoo are both run by the nonprofit San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. Next door to the hospital is the Institute for Conservation Research, which holds the park's Frozen Zoo. The park has the world's largest veterinary hospital.
The park is also Southern California's quarantine center for zoo animals imported into the United States through San Diego. ĭepending on the season, the park has about 400 to 600 employees. The park, visited by 2 million people annually, houses 3,000 animals representing roughly 400 species, as well as 3,500 plant species. The park is also noted for its California condor breeding program. These free-range enclosures house such animals as antelopes, giraffes, buffalo, cranes, and rhinoceros. The park is in a semi-arid environment, and one of its most notable features is the Africa Tram, which explores the expansive African exhibits. This includes the largest collection of hoofed mammals in the world. The park houses a large array of wild and endangered animals including species from the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia. It is one of the largest tourist attractions in San Diego County. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, originally named the San Diego Wild Animal Park until 2010, is an 1,800 acre (730 ha) zoo in the San Pasqual Valley area of San Diego, California, near Escondido.
