2) Two 1-Day Passes to the Zoo, or:

3) Two Africa Tram Safari Passes to the Safari Park

Tickets valid for one year from issue date (so they don't have to be used on consecutive dates).


If you have AAA, you can enjoy a discount of a few dollars per ticket. Just present your AAA card when you purchase tickets at the main gate.

Another great benefit of AAA - now that's something to smile about!
