Score 87/100 · Order: Africa Tram, Walkabout Australia · $70–80 adult
The Safari Park's open enclosures feel closer to a real safari than a zoo. It's a longer drive and hotter than Balboa Park, but the tram ride and the scale of the habitats justify the trip.
Local tip: Book the Africa Tram for early morning — animals are most active before the heat.
