You receive six free hours of parking during zoo hours. Swipe your card at the entrance and exit.
Please swipe your membership card at the zoo parking lot entrance and then pull the ticket that is dispensed. At the automated exit lane insert your entry ticket and scan the QR code on one of your free parking passes.
Please swipe your membership card at the zoo parking lot entrance and then pull the ticket that is dispensed. During your zoo visit, please stop by one of our pay-on-foot stations to pre-pay your $9 fee outside of Gateway Pavilion or near the Bus Gate. Please ensure to take your pre-paid receipt that is dispensed. When leaving the parking lot, insert your pre-paid receipt at one of the lot’s automated exit lanes. If you did not have a chance to pre-pay, you may pay with a credit card at any of the automated exit lanes.
PLEASE NOTE: The zoo is no longer able to adjust fees charged when exiting the parking lot. As a result, failure to follow the steps above will likely result in you being charged the full rate. This includes patrons who have forgotten their membership card.
As always, you may visit Gateway Pavilion from 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. for any parking or membership questions. We recommend you resolve any parking concerns at Gateway prior to exiting the lot.
