Escondido sits inland in San Diego County, a city whose name means hidden in Spanish, tucked between hills and valleys. The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, one of the world's best known wildlife parks, lies here, with open savanna exhibits and conservation programs. Queen Califia's Magical Circle, a sculpture garden by artist Niki de Saint Phalle, fills a park with mosaic creatures and a maze, and the California Center for the Arts brings concerts and exhibits downtown. Daley Ranch preserves open ranchland and trails on the city's edge, and historic Grand Avenue keeps shops and restaurants in the old downtown.
