Throughout the month of October, children aged 11 and under can enjoy free admission to the San Diego Zoo as part of a special promotion that coincides with fall and Halloween festivities. This initiative is tied to the HalGLOWeen celebrations at the zoo and the Autumn Festival at the San Diego Safari Park, offering a unique opportunity for families.

To take advantage of the free admission, children must be accompanied by a paying adult. Weekends in October will be packed with exciting activities at both the zoo and the safari park, designed for families to enjoy together.

San Diego Safari Park: Autumn Festival
The Autumn Festival at San Diego Safari Park will be held every Saturday and Sunday in October from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Families can explore mazes, get up close with the park’s wildlife, and participate in interactive activities that capture the essence of the fall season.

San Diego Zoo: HalGLOWeen
HalGLOWeen at the San Diego Zoo will take place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in October from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This celebration features glowing activities under ultraviolet lights, live performances, and music, along with a special addition this year: an enchanted forest and a glowing polar bear habitat.

With these activities, October promises to be a month full of fun for children and their families at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park.
