The special Seniors Week discount will be offered to visitors to the Zoo on presentation of Government Senior’s Cards.
Taronga Western Plains Zoo is a popular place to visit for older Australians. Especially with their grandchildren as it helps to nurture a love for animals at a young age.
“The special entry offer has been extended to seniors, as they play a vital role in educating younger generations about wildlife and conservation,” said General Manager, Matthew Fuller.
Taronga Western Plains Zoo is also hosting a special Seniors Week morning tea on Wednesday 8 March 2017. For just $8.50 per person, seniors can enjoy a light morning tea in the Savannah Function Centre as well as an exclusive animal encounter and keeper talk. Bookings are essential and further information is available by contacting 02 6881 1438.
“The Seniors Week morning tea is a popular event and is a great opportunity for seniors to view the primates on the Savannah Lake following morning tea,” said Matt.
NSW Seniors Week celebrates the valuable contribution seniors make to our community and allows younger generations to say thank you to seniors.
“The special Seniors Week offer is our way of recognising and thanking the many seniors in the region for their contribution to the community,” said Matt.
