PARTICIPANT SAFETY POLICIES  

• We ask all participants to stay home if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP 

• Drop-off and pick-up will occur via the Education Conservation Gate of the Zoo. 
• The Education Conservation Gate is located in the south (right-hand) corner of the Cherokee Avenue parking lot.  
• At Drop-off, parents will be given a printed check-out number for their children, which is required of anyone picking up your child. Please place this number on a visible part of your car’s dashboard during check-out. For your child’s safety, we will not release your child unless the appropriate check-out number is provided at check-out. If your child will be picked up by someone else, the number can be written on a piece of paper and be presented at check-out.   
• Students must be dropped off and picked-up by a parent or guardian. 
• Procedures for Pick-up and drop-off
  • Enter the Cherokee Avenue parking lot at the stoplight at the intersection of Cherokee Avenue and Georgia Avenue. Go down the hill and veer right immediately before you reach the first building (do not enter the roundabout). From there, pass the buildings on your left and drive along the lower fence line to the “Education Conservation” Gate, entering the queue for both drop-off and check-out. 
  • At drop-off, an instructor will greet your child and help him/her from the car. Do not drop off a child without checking in properly with the education staff.  
  • During check-out, a staff member will relay the Check-Out Number from your dashboard to the educators to prepare your child for check-out.  
  • For the safety of children, parents, and staff, please remain in your vehicle during drop-off and pick-up.  
  • Participants arriving late must use the call box outside of the Education Conservation Gate to call Security. 
  • If you choose to stay on Zoo grounds while your child is participating in the program, you will need to enter through the Zoo’s front entrance. Tickets or a Zoo Atlanta Membership may be purchased online or in person.  
  • Parking is conveniently located in the lot on Cherokee Avenue and in the new Grant Park Gateway parking facility on Boulevard. These are public parking lots and are owned by the City of Atlanta and managed by AAA Parking. Rates will be $3 an hour for a maximum of $12 a day.
