Join fellow Osher members for a free Seniors Day at the San Diego Safari Park. In February, guests ages 65+ must present a valid photo ID at the entrance to receive complimentary admission. Admission is valid that day only at the Safari Park. Parking is not included, and is payable at the entrance to the parking lot, $20 per car. Disabled parking is available close to the entrance and the fee is also $20 per car.. If you are bringing someone that is not 65 or older, please be prepared to pay the admission fee for them.

Osher at SDSU members and friends will meet at 10:00 a.m. in front of the park entrance area and enter the park together. You may bring lunch, or purchase food in the park. We will be deciding together, by consensus, our plan for the day, and walking at a leisurely pace, not hurrying in between exhibits!! You are free to stay as long as you would like with our group, and leave the park anytime you please.
