Park and Ride to Como Zoo

During the summer months (except during the State Fair), visitors to Como Zoo can park at the State Fair Grounds and catch a shuttle to and from the zoo. This is great for a couple reasons:

1) You don’t want to ruin grown up moods trying to find parking on a busy day; and

2) Kids love the zoo bus. It’s a fun extra for their day and a nice way to finish off the visit without tears.
