Senior Safari Walks
the Erie Zoo
Starting now through September 16, 2009


UPMC for Life members can walk at no cost* two times a month. There are no scheduled dates so members can walk anytime during zoo hours (10 a.m.-5 p.m.) from March 1 through September 16.

Members who walk at least once a month for five months will be invited to a healthy breakfast and a private behind the scenes tour at the Erie Zoo on October 2, 2009.

Fill out the stamp card you received in the mail and bring it to the Erie Zoo each time you walk. An Erie Zoo attendant will mark your attendance in the specified boxes. 

Turn your completed card into the zoo admission gates by September 16, 2009, and you will be eligible for the healthy breakfast and behind-the-scenes zoo tour. Please note that if you lose your stamp card once the zoo attendant has started filling it out, it will be difficult to replace and credit will not be given for prior stamped attendance.

*You must have a stamp card with you to gain no cost admission to the zoo. Stamp cards can be obtained at the Erie Zoo when you show your UPMC for Life membership ID card to an attendant. No cost admission only applies to UPMC for Life members.
