Important Information
All registered groups will receive a letter confirming details of the planned visit. Group admission is $5 per visitor (including students, teachers, parents, adult chaperones and bus drivers). You may pay with cash (no coins, please), VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or school check upon entering the Zoo.
Groups should assign one leader who will greet Zoo staff on arrival and who will collect all of your group's admission money BEFORE arriving at the Zoo. (This includes money from all teachers, chaperones, bus drivers, children, and any visiting parents entering with your group.)
Please do NOT assemble your group directly in front of Zoo entrance gates. A designated staging area for groups helps keep entrances clear and safe. Upon arrival please follow the instructions of Zoo staff; this will expedite your entry into the Zoo. Your group will be officially counted as you enter the Zoo; everyone must enter at the same time.
The Little Rock Zoo will give no refunds once your group has entered the Zoo.
Parking
Buses must park in the "Bus Parking Lot" between Zoo Drive and Monroe Street. Individual cars may park in the MAIN Zoo Lot just to the north of Zoo Drive and behind War Memorial Stadium. On the day of your arrival, an assigned security officer could tell you where to park. Please follow the instructions of the security officer.
Classes and Tours
Classes and tours must be scheduled at least four (4) weeks in advance. Please call (501) 666-2406 for more information on available classes and tours for your group!
