Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure at Safari West's Earth Day Celebration on April 20th! Join us for a day brimming with conservation, education, and family fun, as we proudly host over 41 passionate conservation organizations from across the Bay Area. Together we're dedicated to safeguarding our planet's precious ecosystems and wildlife.
Earth Day: Prepare to get up close and personal with a fascinating array of creatures, from majestic owls and soaring hawks to slithering snakes and fluttering bats. And don't be surprised if you encounter some unexpected guests, like our flesh-eating beetles!
Engage with our enthusiastic conservation experts at interactive tables set up on the lawn. Children are invited to join in Earth Day activities and receive special stickers to commemorate the occasion. Plus, we encourage all guests, especially children, to come dressed as their favorite animals! Our Safari West conservation staff will be joining in on the fun, dressed as animals themselves.
Immerse yourself in hands-on activities, interactive exhibits, and live animal encounters, all aimed at fostering a deeper connection to nature.
Reserved Lunch: We ask that you arrive and check in at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start of your meal. This additional time allows for restroom use before the meal.
