Yes! The Woodland Park Zoo has six first-come, first-served oversized-vehicle parking spaces in the Lion Lot, and buses pay at self-serve kiosks. The lot is limited and parking isn't guaranteed, so a bus that can't park there can use free overflow parking at Lower Woodland Park, which isn't monitored by zoo security staff.
Your bus can drop students at the South Entrance (750 N 50th St) before continuing to the overflow lot. Plan to arrive early on busy school days!
