Walk on the Wild Side at San Diego Zoos

Did you know that in 2023, San Diego was ranked the #2 best large city to visit in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler? The storied San Diego Zoo in picturesque Balboa Park is just one of the attractions that makes it one of the best cities in the U.S.

And when you stay at Hyatt Vacation Club^® at The Welk in Escondido, you’re just 40 miles away from the main zoo. In the meantime, you can spread out, use the amenities, and explore the property’s 450 acres.
