  • Check-in 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.  
  • For your child’s safety, an adult 18 years old or older must check-in and pick-up your child with Zoo Atlanta staff. 
  • To ensure the safety of all participants, caregivers will be given a number when they check-in their children. Please make sure that whoever picks up your child knows this number. For their own safety, no participant will be released to someone who does not know their number. 
  • Child participants must be dropped off between 4:45 p.m. and 5:15 pm.  Late drop-offs will be accommodated until 5:30 p.m. Child participants arriving after 5:30 p.m. will not be admitted into the program. 
  • Pick-up begins promptly at 9 p.m. If a child is picked up late after 9:15 p.m., you will be charged an additional $1 for every additional minute. 
  • Additional details about drop-off and pick-up procedures will be emailed to registrants the week of the program.
