It is a great month to visit the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. For the month of October, children get free admission – saving mom and dad $32 at each venue.
The zoo has been offering Kids Free in October for more than 25 years, for children 11 and younger. No need to show a ticket (usually $32), and there’s no limit on the number of children you can bring, though they must be accompanied by an adult ($42).
The tickets include all of the standard activities inside, such as mingling with zoo characters, feeding a giraffe or taking in a Camp Critters Show. For $10 a child, you can upgrade the freebie to include unlimited rides on guided bus tours, express buses and the aerial tram, which is convenient if you have little ones who may tire of walking.
The free child ticket offer is good through Oct. 31. Visit the San Diego Zoo website for more info.
