FAQs
What are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Please consider your options for catching public transport. The area is easily accessed on foot or by bicycle. Parking may be available on War Memorial Drive, along Frome Road near the Zoo or on Victoria Drive.
Keep in mind that these events will be held on weekdays near the Zoo in the public holidays and on-street parking is likely to be limited. 
What can I bring into the event?
Bring a water bottle and dress appropriately for the weather (hat, jumper, rain jacket), as some of the activities will take place outside. You may want to bring snacks or lunch with you to enjoy before or after your session.
Limited fruit will be available at the event. More food options can be purchased from Wisteria Restaurant at the Adelaide Zoo.
