Active Older Adults

Safari Island Community Center offers a variety of programming for active older adults, including classes, coffee club, and various programming through the Waconia Senior Center.

The Waconia Area Senior Center serves adults age 55 and over in Waconia and our surrounding communities.  Individuals and groups are welcome to "drop in" and take advantage of our ample space, tables, games, and refreshments. Check out the variety of programming, such as trips, seminars, and other special events, designed to help you make new connections and spend quality time with good friends!

Safari Island has a variety of fitness classes designed to improve a person's quality of life.  Classes can help older adults benefit from appropriate and regularly scheduled activity.  All classes are taught by certified group fitness instructors and are developed to meet the needs of older adults.

Participate in one of our senior group fitness classes, then take the opportunity to gather and socialize during our complimentary Coffee Club.  It is held the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month!   All are welcome!

Safari Island has many different options for senior memberships.  We work with various insurance programs (Renew Active/One Pass, SilverSneakers, Silver & Fit, etc.) that offer FREE memberships.  For those that don't have fitness incentives through their insurance, we have senior pricing for individuals ages 60+.  For any membership questions, please contact Kristi Sherlock at 952.442.3105 or ksherlock@waconiamn.gov.
