About this converter
San Diego Safari Park covers 730 hectares, more than double Toronto Zoo at 287. Columbus at 234, Bronx at 107 and Beijing at 90 follow. Berlin at 35, Taronga at 28, Singapore at 26, London at 15 and Central Park at 3 close the table. Land area means zoo grounds, not county parks around them. That split matters most at Bronx, where the 107 zoo acres sit inside larger Bronx Park. Safari parks run biggest because herds need open range. City zoos trade area for species density.
How to use it
Pick two zoos and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Safari Park against Bronx to see the near seven times gap. The bars below scale to Safari Park so Central Park looks thin next to it. Switch the unit to acres for US figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the land areas.
Safari vs city splits this table. Safari Park 730 counts open range. Toronto 287 counts valley zoo grounds. Central Park 3 is kept only for scale as the smallest famous zoo. Figures follow park specs. Expansions add hectares, so totals move with builds. Species counts differ from area, so Berlin leads species while ranking low here.
