How it becomes free or discounted
Free
Free every day, with no validation, purchase or ticket needed to park. Zoo admission is charged separately for entry to the zoo itself; the parking is free either way. Usable during zoo opening hours.
Hours: March-December daily 10:00-16:00; January-February Friday-Monday 10:00-16:00; closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day
The zoo states free parking twice on its own site (the Map & Directions page and the Tickets & Hours page, which reads "Parking is free."). The lots are the zoo's own general parking beside the main gate inside Druid Hill Park, so they follow zoo opening hours. The coordinate is the zoo's own published GPS point for "Main Gate: General Parking and Bus Drop Off".
“Remember, there's free parking at the Zoo every day.”
