Safari Park Offers Free Admission To Firefighters In September

ESCONDIDO, CA — Firefighters will receive free admission to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in September.

Firefighters will need to present an active firefighter identification card, along with a personal ID card at the park's entrance to take advantage of the Firefighter Appreciation Month offer. The park will also offer 10 percent off one-day passes for up to six guests who attend the park with an active firefighter.

"Firefighters run toward the danger that many others run from – and for that courage, we are grateful," Safari Park Director Lisa Peterson said. "Providing free admission to firefighters is just one small way to express the gratitude of the entire San Diego Zoo Safari Park staff."

California Coast Credit Union provided funding for the park's Firefighter Appreciation Month offer, which is valid for same-day admission only.

"Firefighters are true heroes, and we are proud to join San Diego Zoo Global in recognizing them for their tremendous efforts to keep us all safe from fires," said Cal Coast President and CEO Todd Lane.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is located at 15500 San Pasqual Valley Road in Escondido.
