Elephant odyssey

Elephants. They had a selection of sizes, so extra cute. I mean, you’re at the zoo. How can you not love this? They had some activities for the kiddies, too, if that’s your thing.

My favorite bit of the zoo… kids loved the area too, the biggest elephant with the huge tusks is beautiful. Would love to see some baby elephants in the near future… I wonder if they are rotated with the safari park? My only concern is the grounds seem small for such big creatures.

My son LOVES the elephants! He also likes pacing alongside the jaguar when she’s in her den.
The ONLY thing that is negative about this big, beautiful, newer part of the zoo, is the fact that the «tar pit» only seems to be functioning during the summer when tourists are about. As members who come year round, we think it looks kinda janky when it’s not working and is just stagnant. They also used to have a keeper who answered questions at the fossil desk but I haven’t seen one this year. I feel like once other parts of the zoo get makeovers, upkeep on the last upgrade goes by the wayside.

Love it! Always want to bring people from out if town here:) just over all fun!

My family, friends and I always make sure that we hit up their new elephant odyssey on each trip out to the San Diego Zoo. They did such a great job on this new addition to their park. It’s huge! Definitely the largest state of the art elephant treatment facility and exhibit I have ever seen. And it’s great how they incorporated other species and unusual animals into it as well, so you not only get to see elephants, but other mammals, amphibians, birds, and insects to name a few. You’ll have to come check it out for yourself. It’ll be worth it!
