The surroundings are plush with trees and additional foliage. There is tons of seating and covered areas to relax during your visit. With several dining options and a bar, you are sure to find something you'll like. Both food and drink are reasonably priced and actually pretty good. Just be sure to follow the rules and don't feed the birds! If you do you'll be surrounded by then and possibly have one or two shit on you, which would be a good lesson to abide by the rules lol. I'll be back for sure since I have an annual pass and am a full fledged Zoological Member. Catch me outside during the summer.

The potato mozzarella corn dog is only $5-$6 and tastes really good and you can top it off with any sauce, I usually roll it in sugar and add all the spicy sauces that I can add before you reach the limit, but staff is generous on sauces and will give you more on the side if needed. Since it's located in a mall, there's plenty of seating and it takes about 15 minutes to make if they are busy so at most which is pretty quick for a busy mall too especially.

The batter was light and crispy and the bbq sauce and ranch were perfect condiments. Chicken Salad: Southwestern style with pico, black beans, and roasted corn. Came topped with perfectly crisp fried onions and a broken up chicken tender. I think the dressing was a chipotle mayo. Bacon Cheeseburger: Perfectly cooked but the beef patties they used are thin, tiny, and not great. If they could just upgrade it to a higher quality quarter lb patty, I think everyone would benefit. The Fries: What the heck! Why would a safari park have some of the best fries anywhere?! Crispy, thick, hot and soft in the center, and so well seasoned. They came with the burger and the tenders in a large mound so our meals were super filling. Staff-wise, Brant was amazingly friendly. He turned us onto the tiger tail fudge (peanut butter and white chocolate) and we ended up buying some of that and the rocky road fudge to take home and enjoy.

Honestly, there aren't a ton of great shopping options compared to other malls in San Diego. The main stores I usually stop by are Old Navy, H&M, Windsor, and Macy's. The food court isn't bad either and has a decent amount of options if you want to grab something quick while you're here. Overall, it's convenient if you're already in the Escondido area or need to stop by a specific store, but it's definitely not a mall I would go out of my way to visit just for shopping. I think it could use a few more popular stores to make it more of a shopping destination.
