Rules for Bus Parking at Denver Zoo

When it comes to bus parking at the Denver Zoo, there are a few important rules to keep in mind:

  • Parking Location: Bus parking locations can vary depending on the group type and time of year. Typically, buses enter the eastern parking lot through the designated Bus Entrance.
  • Peak Season: During the peak visiting season (mid-April to May), field trip groups check in and enter through the School Group Gate connected to the eastern parking lot.
  • Drop-Off and Pick-Up: Arrange with your driver to drop you off at the main entrance to avoid the extra walk from the eastern parking lot. The driver can look after personal belongings left on the bus and pick up your group at the front gate when you’re ready to leave.

Designated Areas for Bus Parking

The Denver Zoo has designated areas for bus parking, which include:

  • Eastern Parking Lot: This is the primary location for bus parking, with a designated Bus Entrance.
  • School Group Gate: During peak season, field trip groups enter through this gate connected to the eastern parking lot.
