How do i get to the venue?

Parking will be located at the John Ball Zoo, off of Fulton St. Staff members from The Bissell Tree House will be located in front of the zoo entrance. There will be two forms of transportation from the zoo parking lot up to the tree house. If the Funicular is running, a staff member will escort you into the zoo to the Funicular to be taken to the venue. In the case that the Funicular is down due to maintenance or weather, the two shuttle buses will be the only form of transportation up to the venue.
