Park-N-Ride

Families are strongly encouraged to ride the free bus shuttles as Zoo parking is very limited. Shuttles depart every 15-20 minutes from the Sears parking lot at the Broadmoor Towne Center on Southgate Road, making it easier than ever for trick-or-treaters to get to the Zoo for all the fun.
