โโ ๏ธTICKETS AND LOGISTICS:
โPedestrian Entry Ticket: (If you are taking the Metro or parking outside the zoo.) We will meet at 8:45 AM outside the main Connecticut Ave pedestrian entrance (by the ZOO sign) so we can all get in together at 9:00 AM. TAP-DC will reserve pedestrian entry tickets for everyone who is signed up through this event page.
โParking Inside Zoo Ticket: (If you are getting paid parking inside the zoo.) You must reserve your own paid parking pass directly through the Zoo (which includes your entry tickets). We will plan to meet you outside the Visitor Center by 9:15 AM. You must still get a ticket with us too, so that we know to wait for you. We will reach out and coordinate.
โWe have two ticket types available. Please choose accordingly to help us coordinate. Please email lienhua.lee@tap-dc.org with any questions.
