Arrival

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, chaperons, bus drivers, children, and any visiting parents entering with your group.)

Please do NOT assemble your group in front of the ticket kiosk. 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.
