The San Diego Zoo Safari Park immerses you in an active, one-of-a-kind safari experience, where herds of animals roam savanna habitats in a vast reserve. Everywhere you look, there are amazing views—including lions lounging in the grasslands, antelope and giraffes mingling, rhinos wallowing in waterholes, storks and cranes on the march, and more. Choose from a variety of exciting safari expeditions by caravan truck, cart, or zip line—and there’s even an overnight option (all safaris subject to availability).

October is a big month at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park­—it’s Kids Free Month. From October 1 through 31, 2021 every child age 3 to 11 gets free admission when accompanied by a paying adult. It’s a popular event that lets kids "go wild" and connect with wildlife.
