Sept 20: Oregon Zoo Offers Free Admission to Any Senior Plus Guest
September 13th, 2011
Anyone age 65 or over—along with one companion—can visit the Oregon Zoo for free on September 20 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The event is called Senior Safari and provides a day of activities and entertainment planned with those 65 and over in mind. In the morning, pick up complimentary coffee and doughnuts (while supplies last). Throughout the day, you’ll have the opportunity to pet animals at the Trillium Creek Family Farm, attend animal talks, ride the zoo train, take in a special animal painting demonstration near the picnic shelter, enjoy musical performances, and of course visit all the animals like Samudra (pictured above). A senior lunch special will be available at the picnic shelter and in zoo restaurants.
Providence Home and Community Services will provide free wheelchairs for use on a first-come, first-served basis. The supply is limited, so people who need wheelchairs are urged to bring their own if possible. Volunteers will be available to assist with wheelchair navigation.
For additional information, go to www.oregonzoo.org or call 503-226-1561.
