WHERE TO MEET:

Let's meet inside the Farm-in-the-zoo by the information board. I'll add photos of the location to the event photos. Then kids will be able to see goats, huge bunnies, and cows while we all get together and organized. The farm-in-the-zoo if you haven't been there is at the far southwest corner of the zoo, you can search for the address "1969 N Stockton Drive"

to find it... Although street parking is scarce. If you're driving you will probably need half an hour to find parking and walk over. Here is a link to a guide from the zoo with a map:
