This isn't just a day at the zoo. It's a behind-the-scenes-style Eastern gathering that gives you access to special experiences you won't get with a standard admission ticket.

Your event ticket includes:

• Admission to the San Diego Zoo
• Admission to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for the following day
• Complimentary parking
• A private Eastern picnic lunch buffet
• An exclusive private guided bus tour of the zoo, reserved just for our group
• A complimentary custom caricature (on a first come, first serve basis) to take home as a keepsake while you enjoy lunch

$60 per person

Event Schedule:
10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.*
*Our exclusive Eastern programming concludes at 2:00 p.m., but you're welcome to continue exploring the San Diego Zoo for the rest of the day with your included admission.

Join Dr. David Bradstreet ‘76, Professor, Chair, and Director of Eastern's Observatory and Planetarium, and his wife, Colleen Bradstreet ’76, for a one-of-a-kind experience exploring the wonders of the universe with your EUnited family!

Your exclusive Eastern experience includes:

• A private behind-the-scenes tour of Griffith Observatory

Whether you're fascinated by astronomy or simply looking for a unique evening with fellow Eastern alumni and friends, this is an experience you won't find on a typical visit to Griffith Observatory.

After our time at the Observatory, continue the evening just down the street at Little Dom's, one of Los Feliz's beloved neighborhood gems. This dinner offers the perfect opportunity to ask questions, hear more of Dr. Bradstreet's stories, and connect with fellow Eastern alumni and friends in a warm, casual setting.
