During the month of February, all visitors age 65 and older receive free admission to the Safari Park. Enjoy the sights on an Africa Tram, see the platypuses and other Aussie species at Walkabout Australia, wander through Tiger Trail, take a stroll around Mombasa Lagoon, and relax with refreshments on the patio at Kijamii Overlook. There’s a world of sights to see—all at the Safari Park!

Parking is not free ($25), but the Safari Park is an awesome day-long adventure.

Some frugal tips for visiting your local zoo/animal park (These are all true for the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, your local parks may differ)

• Bring your water bottles, and fill up at the drinking fountains/filling stations all over the park.
• Pack your own snacks/lunch. There are tons of picnic/eating areas all over the parks.
• Bring some cash for 1 treat/toy/souvenir. With cash, you have a firm budget.
• If you are a zoo/safari park member, you may get a discount in the shops/restaurants (check online).
