Community Center Trip: Day at Golden Gate Park (public event)

The Monterey Senior Center in the Lighthouse District is pleased to announce its Winter/Spring 2010 Tour Program! Our sixth excursion of the season will be to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, one of California's most beautiful urban parks.

You may choose to visit the beautiful California Academy of Sciences, or the De Young Museum featuring masterpieces from the collection of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, or have afternoon tea at the charming Japanese Tea Garden. The Strybing Arboretum Botanical Gardens covers 55 acres and is home to 7,000 varieties of plants. You can also visit the Conservatory of Flowers, offering the intimate up-close experience with rare and endangered plants. The day is yours to enjoy!

You do not have to be a Center member to participate in the tour: all adults age 18 and older are welcome; each child under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Cost is $42 per person. The Monterey Senior Center Tours (known as "Golden 55 Travelers") depart from the Monterey Senior Center (Marina pick-ups are also available). All tours are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tours must be paid for when you sign-up. We gladly accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and personal checks.
