OK all you planning your next family outing this free travel offer is for you -- if you’re in SoCal, if you like animals, if you have children, if you’d enjoy a day with nature, and if you can find your way, you have to make a point of getting to the San Diego Zoo in October.

A regular priced child’s ticket (age 3-11) is normally $27, so this free offer might seriously warrant taking a last minute family trip, getaway, or family outing. The zoo has 101 things to do (or more – see their website) and they have additional giveaways to make the deal even sweeter like a weekly coloring contest (which I recommend for the younger ones to kind of prep for the trip and they can win a plush animal toy if they win).

They have a regular schedule of events, weekends also have additional special attractions and events, and more.

There you have it – the freebie report to beat all freebies. Everyone has a memory of the zoo, and oh so many of us have ours at the San Diego Zoo. I did, have been so many times since the first time, and my children will also have their first zoo memory at this zoo this October ($*&!! FOR FREE!!!*&$) So, I’ll see you there, this October. Happy Safari-ing!
