Soar high above the tree line and take a look at a true Southern California classic that is still thrilling guests today! This is a full, scenic ride-through of the legendary Skyfari aerial tramway at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, beautifully preserved from January 21, 2013.
Originally opened in 1969, this classic Von Roll sky ride gives guests a breathtaking, bird's-eye view of the entire zoo, Balboa Park, and the surrounding San Diego skyline. While many historic skyrides across the country have been removed, the Skyfari remains a beloved, fully operating staple of the park. This vintage 2013 POV captures a relaxing, uninterrupted cruise from one end of the park to the other, gliding right over the lush animal habitats and bustling midways.
