Wild Wonders

Before we left for San Diego, I perused Groupon and Living Social, looking for deals on fun and perhaps out-of-the ordinary things to do in the area.  I found one:  Wild Wonders.  Wild Wonders is a wildlife education, rehabilitation, and conservation center that works to benefit endangered animals all over the world.  Since we weren't planning on spending the money to visit the San Diego Zoo this time, Wild Wonders was perfect for my animal lovers.

The grounds are very steep and I would not consider them to be wheelchair or stroller friendly.  When you go, make sure you wear closed toe, sturdy shoes.

Folks who have visited the World Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium in Litchfield Park, Arizona will find a similar look for animal housing here.  Each type of animal has its own enclosure.

The highlights of this tour were the animal encounters.  The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about each animal - right down to quirks and characteristics of each individual animal.

I would highly recommend this as an "off the beaten path" kind of outing for families to take in the greater San Diego area.
