We are getting married at the beautiful Bissell Tree House on the grounds of the John Ball Zoo. Our ceremony will take place on the deck of the Bissell Tree House at 5:30pm with a reception following.

Free parking is available in the zoo parking lot. Please arrive to the zoo by 5:00 since it will take 15-20 minutes to ride the Funicular up. Upon arrival, proceed through the main entrance/admissions booth of the John Ball Zoo and turn right. The Idema Funicular is a slow moving tram that will pick you up near the admissions booth and drop you off at the top of the hill on the front porch of the Bissell Tree House. The cars are air conditioned and handicapped accessible. If the Funicular is not an option for you for any reason, please let us know and we will gladly make other arrangements.

There will be a shuttle transporting guests from the zoo back to the JW Marriott beginning at 9:30pm.
