I’m a San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance member with insider tips for buying discount San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets through authorized sellers — including access to an exclusive promo code for 1-Day tickets I’ve personally arranged for my readers. I genuinely believe it’s an experience worth the drive.
As a local travel advisor, I help my clients find the best ways to save money on their entire San Diego vacation. That’s why my team and I continually research and fact-check coupons, vacation packages, and special offers for the Safari Park. I’ve partnered with authorized seller aRes Travel to offer deals in my private ticket store, which is accessible to everyone.
(You may still hear people refer to San Diego Zoo Safari Park by its old name, San Diego Wild Animal Park, or as the Escondido Wild Animal Park.)
San Diego Zoo Safari Park Ticket Prices at the Gate
General admission prices are consistent across authorized ticket sellers, which is why my promo code is valuable. First, you need to know the gate prices at the San Diego Safari Park to understand the savings.

Parking Fees
- General parking: $20 per vehicle
- Oversized vehicles: $55
- Preferred parking: starts at $45
You’ll pay upon arrival (cash or card, and $100 bills aren’t accepted). I recommend arriving early. The lot isn’t huge, and while I’ve never had trouble finding a spot, it does fill up at times.

Pros: This is the lowest publicly available price, and no membership is required.
Cons: If you’re visiting other attractions, a sightseeing pass could be more advantageous.
2. Go Twice for Less With 2-Visit Passes
Planning two visits? Skip buying separate 1-Day tickets—get the 2-Visit Pass instead. It’s a much better value, valid for one person to use twice within one year of purchase. No reservations needed.
2-Day Pass
The 2-Day Pass includes:
• One visit to the San Diego Zoo and one visit to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park -or-
• Two visits to the San Diego Zoo -or-
• Two visits to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
Both visits must occur within a year of the purchase date. The ticket also needs to be used by the same person on all visits.
Parking at the Zoo is Free. Parking at the Safari Park is not included in the ticket price. Skip the ticket line and go straight to the gate. Price: $130/adult and $120/ages 3–11
Pros: The pass is valid for a year, making it a good option for residents. You also get the opportunity to see both parks.
Cons: A sightseeing pass might be a more cost-effective option for tourists visiting other attractions.
3. Go City San Diego Saves 50% off 50+ Attractions
Go City San Diego is the most popular sightseeing pass used by tourists and locals alike. With it, you can save up to 50% off admission to most of the top San Diego theme parks, museums, and attractions—including San Diego Zoo Safari Park and San Diego Zoo.

Go City San Diego – Exclusive Promo Code
Get an extra 5% ALL Go San Diego sightseeing passes when you buy through Go City! This discount stacks on top of sale rates! Use promo code GOSDO5LJM.
(Pass has limited value for families at many attractions during Kids Free October in San Diego — we recommend individual tickets during this timeframe instead.)
Pros: The All-Inclusive pass is popular for active sightseeing. They have a generous refund policy for unused passes (see the terms and conditions).
Cons: You do need to be certain that you will see a lot of sights to get the most value out of it.
4. Save on Safaris — Upgrade Your Day
San Diego Zoo Safari Park tours are called “safaris” and incur an additional cost beyond your general admission, with one exception: the Africa Tram Safari is free. You will still need to purchase admission and parking at the San Diego Safari Park, in addition to the safaris. These safaris offer some of the best animal encounters in San Diego and are narrated by expert guides who answer questions and provide a rare opportunity to get even closer to incredible wildlife. If you’re a conservation or animal enthusiast, I recommend them.
When you purchase through the park, prices for these exciting safari expeditions vary based on whether you attend on a value, standard, or peak day.
Through aRes Travel, I have access to reasonable any-day safari prices. On peak days, these will be less expensive than buying directly, and on standard days, they are usually the same price.
If you buy a safari, you must still pay for admission and parking.
Behind the Scenes Safari
Enjoy what happens behind the scenes of your favorite wildlife at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Price: $108.00/ages 3+
Wildlife Safari
Head out to see amazing wildlife living in the savannah habitats from the comfort of an open-air safari truck at San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Price: $108.00/ages 3+
Flightline Safari
Enjoy the views of the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park while flying over the park on a zip line! Price: $133/ages 3+
No More Cheetah Run
Speaking of safaris, to see the cheetah run, you’ll need to book the Sun Up Cheetah Safari for an additional fee. On this exciting expedition, you’ll enter the park before the general public, and there are definitely perks to being inside first, like animal viewing before the crowds.
Pros: Safaris can bring you closer to the animals and help you learn more.
Cons: The cost is additional, and you will have less time to see other areas of the park (depending on which safari you choose).
5. San Diego Zoo Safari Park Vacation Packages
There are a few popular ways to combine San Diego Safari Park tickets with hotels near San Diego Zoo Safari Park for extra savings.
There are many reasons to stay in the Escondido area, where hotel rates are more reasonable. You can also bundle admission with hotel stays across San Diego County.

6. San Diego CityPASS
San Diego CityPASS offers the option to bundle San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets with select other experiences. Here’s how it works:
The pass types include:
- SeaWorld San Diego + 3 Attractions
- LEGOLAND California + 3 Attractions

The three attractions can be your choice of:
- San Diego Zoo OR San Diego Zoo Safari Park (not both)

I think Go, San Diego provides more flexibility, but which sightseeing pass you choose depends on your itinerary.

Unlock your savings with San Diego CityPASS! You can check CityPASS direct but using our promo code SAVEMORE on our ticket site is cheaper right now!
(Pass has limited value for families at many attractions during Kids Free October in San Diego — we recommend individual tickets during this timeframe instead.)
Pros: People tend to purchase this pass for shorter trips that include the attractions listed above.
Cons: It only makes sense if you visit LEGOLAND California and/or SeaWorld San Diego and/or the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
7. Free Kids Tickets in October (Ages 11 & Under)
One of the best times to visit San Diego as a family is in October, when kids eat, stay, and play for free at over 90 venues around town. Throughout the entire month, up to four kids ages 11 and under enjoy free admission to San Diego Zoo Safari Park when accompanied by a paying adult with a qualifying ticket
Tickets purchased with my exclusive discount code qualify for Kids Free October! Sightseeing passes typically do not qualify for the promotion. Kids’ free tickets include the Africa Tram, and everything is typically included with a 1-Day pass.
Pros: Kids are FREE! The Zoo and Safari Park participate every year.
Cons: None at the Zoo or Safari Park, but here’s an FYI for other attractions… The exact details aren’t released until the fall, making it a little difficult for families to plan. You need a special ticket at some places, so read the fine print.

8. Military Discounts and Free Tickets
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park offers special military discounts, including free passes for active-duty members and discounts for spouses and dependents. These discounts are available year-round, and you can take advantage of them more than once a year. If you are a military member or family reading this, thank you for your service!
For Active-Duty U.S. Armed Forces Personnel
If you present a Common Access Card (CAC) or Uniformed Services ID card at the ticket window, you’ll receive a free single-day pass to the Safari Park. Free tickets are for active-duty members.
For Military Families
Spouses and children of active-duty personnel who present a valid dependent ID card at the ticket window will receive a 10% discount on a single-day pass.
TIP: Your MWR Department may be aware of additional discount programs available to veterans and military members that can be applied to San Diego Zoo Safari Park admission.
Pros: Free Safari Park tickets for active-duty members!
Cons: You need to go to the ticket window, and there can be lines, but it’s worth it.
9. Costco Discounts
If you are a Costco member, there is an online-only discount to the Safari Park. You will not find this in stores, and it is no longer available for the San Diego Zoo.
Are 10% Discounts Worth It?
I’m about to list some memberships that will give you a 10% off gate price discount on 1-Day tickets. If you go this route, here are the numbers crunched with taxes and fees included.
10. AAA Discount San Diego Safari Park Tickets
I’m an AAA member. Your AAA club may offer a different deal, but this is what I see in Southern California. AAA San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets are 10% off for members with valid membership cards. You can buy these at the ticket window for up to 6 people, check with your local branch, or purchase through their app.
My promo code is slightly better for 1-Day tickets, and they can be purchased online now.
Pros: AAA members get some value out of their membership, and the discount applies to 2-Visit tickets, which is rare (at least through the app).
Cons: My promo code is easier to buy.
11. Group Ticket Discounts
Groups of 15 people or more who purchase tickets together can receive a 10% discount on single-day passes. Groups of 100 or more can get a 15% discount on their 1-Day Passes.
You can also arrange meal vouchers for your group for cashless transactions at participating restaurants. To expedite entry, I highly recommend placing your group discount before arrival. You can do this by calling the Reservation Sales Department at 619-718-3000. Group tickets are typically not available at the park entrance gates.
Pros: The group discount for 100 or more is especially strong.
Cons: Group tickets are typically not available at the park entrance gates.
12. Teacher Discounts, School Field Trips, & Youth Groups
Teachers and other accredited educators who plan to bring their classes to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park can organize field trips, free or for a small fee, by calling the Safari Park at 760-738-5057.
San Diego County students and their chaperones are free during most school days. On certain days of the week, some groups may pay a discounted price of $32 per student on regular school dates.
Youth groups, such as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, can also visit for a reduced price. Prices vary by day of the week. For instance, on certain days, the cost is $33 for guests ages 3 through 17 and $38 for each guest ages 18 and older, including chaperones. However, on some days, children ages 11 and under are free.
Read the details and requirements for these special offers.
Pros: We’ve been on these organized trips with my daughter’s school, and they are fun. It is nice that the chaperones get free tickets.
Cons: Your group must have 15 or more people and make a reservation at least 14 days in advance. (This is not really a con, but it’s good to know.)
13. Student Discounts
The Safari Park student discount is available to students aged 18 and older. Students residing in San Diego County are eligible for a 10% discount on San Diego Resident, Resident Premium, Wildlife Protector, or Wildlife Protector Premium memberships. They also receive 10% off the 1-Day Pass Any Day ticket.
Students residing outside San Diego County are eligible for 10% off a Wildlife Protector or Wildlife Protector Premium membership.
Pros: I’m a massive fan of memberships because, typically, you save money if you go twice a year.
Cons: These discounts are available only when purchasing memberships in person at the park with a student ID.
14. Senior Discounts – Free Tickets in February
In February, guests aged 65 and older received free general admission to San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Please present your ID at a ticket booth window to receive the discount. Parking is not included. You can get the details here.
Seniors 65+ get 10% off memberships year-round:
- Non-residents: discount applies to Wildlife Protector and Wildlife Protector Premium.
- San Diego County residents: The discount applies to Resident, Resident Premium, Wildlife Protector, and Wildlife Protector Premium plans.
Finally, Seniors 65+ receive 10% off 1-Day tickets at the ticket booth with a valid ID (remember my promo code is a bit lower and more convenient).
Pros: Free tickets and an excellent excuse for grandparents to take their grandkids on a visit.
Cons: None, really. Just a heads up: you may have to wait in a ticket booth line.
15. Travel Industry Discount Tickets
If you are a travel agent, airline employee, or cruise line employee, you can receive a 10% discount on a 1-Day Pass. You must present the required identification at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park ticket booth window.
Pros: I’m a travel advisor based in San Diego. It’s nice when people in our industry are recognized.
Cons: You may have to wait in line (my promo code is easier to buy).
16. Gift Cards
While not part of a discount program, San Diego Zoo Safari Park gift cards let you give your favorite people the gift of visiting the park more often. Gift cards can be applied to regular passes, a safari experience, or even an annual membership. Gift card amounts start at $50.
Pros: Recipients can use the money as they see fit, whether inside the park or for ticket purchases.
Cons: None that I can think of.

17. San Diego Zoo Safari Park Memberships
We have an annual San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance membership, which we believe is highly valuable. Regular visitors should consider a San Diego Zoo Safari Park membership, which offers weekday or unlimited admission per year for a single flat rate. Here are some of the benefits:
- All membership tiers (except Wildlife Explorer) receive Wild Perks benefits throughout the parks, including discounts on food, merchandise, and more when you show your membership card. Discounts range from 5–15%, depending on your membership tier.
- If you’re looking to cover multiple family members, adults should choose the membership tier that best fits their needs. Kids ages 3–17 can use the Wildlife Explorer annual membership ($76/year for new members and $66/year for renewing members).
San Diego Resident and San Diego Resident Premium Passes
San Diego Zoo Safari Park annual passes are for San Diego County residents in these zip codes who would like to enjoy the Zoo and Safari Park as much as they want during a membership year. You have two membership types to choose from. An adult membership is for ages 18-64. Senior memberships are for ages 65+.
Memberships include parking at both the Zoo and Safari Park. Renewals save $10.
San Diego Resident: Get weekday-only admission to the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park with some blackout dates. You’ll also receive two 50% off admission coupons, exclusive member specials, a San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Journal subscription, and 5% Wild Perks discounts. ($99/adult or $89.10/senior)

Wildlife Protector Premium (I have this): This pass includes unlimited admission to both parks, one free coupon for a 1-Day Pass, free parking, 10% Wild Perks discounts, use of the Donor Club entrance, a subscription to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Journal, and special early hours. This is the pass that most closely resembles the old Keeper’s Club pass. ($174/adult or $156.60/senior)
Wildlife Guardian: Get unlimited admission to both parks, two free coupons for 1-Day Passes, free parking, 10% Wild Perks discounts, use of the Donor Club entrance, a San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Journal subscription, special early hours, a 50% off Special Experience/Safari Tour, member appreciation day, and access to special events.

($499/adult)
President’s Clubs
Choose one of the President’s Club donor club levels to get more out of our membership.
You’ll receive everything in the Wildlife Champion membership and access to some pretty incredible special events filled with insider news and a closer look at some of the animals. The higher the level, the more exclusive experiences and events you’re invited to at both parks.
We have attended many of these events, and they are highly engaging for those who enjoy behind-the-scenes access and animal interactions. Memberships and membership renewals range from $1,190 to $10,000.
Tip: Always check blockout dates! Specific membership levels have blockout dates that can include weekends, holidays, and random peak days.
Pros: SO MANY! Memberships drop the average cost of your visit if you go more than once per year. It feels like a community, and I love being a member.
Cons: If you purchase a membership but don’t use it enough to realize its value, this could be a drawback. However, it’s a nonprofit organization, so you are supporting its operations and animal care.
What to Know Before Buying San Diego Zoo Safari Park Tickets
The bottom line:
- Reservations are not required.
- You should purchase San Diego Zoo Safari Park tickets (use my promo code for 1-Day tickets) and upgrade to safaris in advance to minimize in-person contact while at the park.
- Present your valid admission ticket at the turnstiles for scanning.
- Check park policies during your visit.
- Locker rentals are available near the entrance at Safari Outfitters.
- Please note that, unlike the San Diego Zoo, parking is not included with admission at the Safari Park.
Other San Diego Zoo Safari Park Discounts for Saving Money Inside the Park
People often wonder if there are other ways to save money at the park beyond just purchasing admission. Here are a couple of ways.
WildPerks
In addition to the ticket deals mentioned above, an annual membership is the best way to save on purchases inside the park. Memberships include WildPerks, which offer discounts on food and merchandise at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
For context, San Diego Resident Premium passholders receive a 5% discount through WildPerks. Wildlife Protector passholders receive a 10% discount.
Bring Your Own Food and Water
You can bring in food and drinks, which is one way to minimize costs. Park re-entry is permitted (get a hand stamp on your way out), so you can grab things from your car. You can also place a small soft-sided cooler and snacks in a locker.
Be sure to avoid using disposable straws (these are prohibited inside the park) and exercise caution when managing trash to prevent it from harming the animals if it blows away.
What Else to Spend Money on (Or Not)
I recommend budgeting a few dollars for food to feed the ducks, especially if you visit with kids. Outside of this, you don’t need to spend money in the park.
Where the Money Goes
Part of my job involves finding reliable San Diego Safari Park coupons, discounted admission tickets, and discount codes. If they exist, I’ll list them in this post.
However, I’ll repeat it: If you spend money in the park, every dollar you spend goes to operating costs and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s amazing conservation initiatives as a nonprofit organization.
Is the Safari Park Worth the Effort? An Insider’s Guide to a Perfect Day
I understand that a trip to the Safari Park requires more planning than a visit to the Zoo. You’ve likely heard it’s a longer drive, can get hotter, and involves a lot of walking. This is all true.
I believe overcoming these small hurdles is precisely what makes the experience so rewarding and unique. The park’s vast space is its greatest asset, enabling significant, multi-species habitats that feel like a true savanna. It is a different experience from the Zoo, which I also love. Here’s how to manage your day efficiently.
Plan for the Temperature
Temperatures here run 10–15 degrees warmer than the coast. I arrive at the opening to ensure I park in the lot. Mornings are cooler, animals are active, and you’ll cover the hottest, most exposed areas before the midday sun. Save shaded trails and indoor exhibits for the afternoon.
Download the App: Master the Map
The park is vast, but you don’t need to cover it all on foot. This is what the free Africa Tram is for. This included tour covers the most significant savanna habitats while you relax in some shade. Check the map for playgrounds, such as the one in Tiger Trail, where kids can relax or burn off steam. There are lots of places to eat and rest.
All of this is in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park app. Just bring an external battery, as theme park apps can drain your phone’s charge.
Plan Out the “Worth It” Moments
Here’s what makes the extra effort unforgettable:
- Platypus House – The only place outside Australia where you can see platypuses. (You might see my name on a plaque on the wall there.)
- Walkabout Australia – Stroll right through a kangaroo and wallaby habitat.
- Consider a Safari – You will see and learn a lot more (but a day without one is excellent too).
No client we’ve booked a hotel for and surveyed about their San Diego trip has ever regretted going to this park—instead, they rave about it.
FAQs About San Diego Safari Park Tickets & More
These are the questions I receive most about San Diego Zoo Safari Park ticket prices and admission.
Is there a first responders or essential workers ticket discount?
In September 2019 and 2020, the park celebrated Firefighter Appreciation Month by giving active firefighters free 1-Day tickets upon presenting a firefighter identification card and a photo ID. Up to six accompanying family members or friends can receive 10% off of 1-Day tickets as well.
This promotion hasn’t occurred since then. However, there are discounts of up to 20% on tickets at shop.id.me.
Which is cheaper, San Diego Zoo or Safari Park?
Admission prices for the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are the same. They both charge for parking. The Zoo’s parking charge is a little bit less at $16 versus $20 at Safari Park for a standard car.
Is there an AZA Reciprocal discount?
No. San Diego Zoo Safari Park is a member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA), but the park does not participate in the reciprocal admissions program.
The AZA Reciprocal Admissions Program means that if you are a member of an AZA-accredited zoo or aquarium, you can receive free or discounted admission to AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums that participate in this program. You can check the list of participants.
What about Groupon?
Groupon sells tickets to the Safari Park at full price. There are no discounted tickets available through them at the time of this writing despite their aggressive advertising.
Is there an AARP discount?
There is no AARP discount. Seniors aged 65 or older receive 10% off memberships. There are no senior discounts on 1-Day or 2-Day passes, but seniors can visit the park for free in February.
Can you drive through San Diego Zoo Safari Park?
No. While there are other safari parks across the United States where you can drive your car through to see animals, this park is not set up like that.
You can book the Caravan Safari, which will drive you into the African Plains to see rhinos, giraffes, and other animals up close. Or, you can take the Africa Tram around the park.
Are tickets separate for San Diego Zoo and Safari Park?
Yes. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance operates the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park, but they are separate parks with separate tickets.
I have a San Diego Zoo ticket. Can I use it at the Safari Park?
Technically, no. I have heard of people accidentally buying tickets for one park and being able to use them at the other park. I highly suggest avoiding this. Make sure that you buy the correct tickets for each park.
Are there San Diego resident discounts?
San Diego County residents who live in zip codes 91900–92899 are eligible to purchase annual passes at a cheaper price.
Annual passes are the only way that residents can save a little bit more on tickets, dining, and merchandise in the park. Anyone, including SD residents, can get a better price by using my promo code on tickets.
Is there a Safari Park and Legoland package?
There is sometimes a package like this, but I don’t see one for sale at the moment.
How do I use an aRes Travel ticket?
It’s so easy. I buy these tickets myself. All you need to do is pull your ticket up on a mobile device, and the park will scan its QR code at the front entrance turnstiles.
Alternatively, you can take a printed copy, which you will receive immediately after purchase by email, and they’ll scan the QR code on your printed copy. With an aRes Travel ticket, you can go straight to the gate and skip the ticket booth queues.
Where can I find San Diego Wild Animal Park ticket discounts?
Using my promo code for San Diego Safari Park tickets secures the best San Diego Wild Animal Park ticket discounts because they are the same place! San Diego Wild Animal Park is the former name of the Safari Park.
Can I upgrade my ticket to a membership?
Yes, while you’re in the park, if you decide to become a member (yay), go to a ticket booth and pay the difference between your ticket and a membership.
Why You Should Visit & My Favorite Exhibits
You can feel confident visiting this park and will leave with a deeper understanding of its essential conservation initiatives.
It’s the world’s largest veterinary hospital, home to a Frozen Zoo (from which they plan to bring the white rhino back from extinction, for example), and their research is shared with organizations worldwide to help save native species.
Not to mention, you’ll enjoy one-of-a-kind views of zebras, camels, cheetahs, gorillas, giraffes, lions, meerkats, tigers, warthogs, wild cattle, and more in free-range enclosures designed to mimic natural habitats closely. Some of my many favorite highlights include:
- The wallabies that freely jump around you in Walkabout Australia.
- The only platypuses outside of Australia (you will see my name on the wall in this exhibit)
- Feeding rhinos during the Caravan Safari (an upgraded experience).
- Tiger Trail.
- Condor Ridge to appreciate how instrumental the park was in saving the California condor from extinction.
