Have you been wanting to visit the Franklin Park Zoo but have been putting it off because of your lack of transportation?
Or maybe you didn't realize how close this animal attraction was to Downtown Boston. For the record, it is actually located 5 miles outside of the city, in Dorchester, at One Franklin Park Road. But if you go on July 10th or 17th you won't need to know those facts because the zoo is offering free shuttle rides from a couple different pick up stops in Downtown Boston.
The free shuttle to the Franklin Park Zoo will operate between 10am and 4pm continuously on July 10 (this weekend) and July 17th.
The pickup locations are as follows:
*Trinity Place @ St. James, adjacent to the Copley Fairmont Plaza Hotel, Boston Back Bay
*Washington St @ Avery, in front of BiNA Osteria, Downtown Crossing.
There will be an attendant and signs at both stops.
The trip to and from the zoo will take about 15-20 minutes each way and will take passengers on a first come first served basis. The shuttle will be dropping people off after they visit the zoo at the same locations where they were picked up.
For more information on the free shuttle to the zoo promotions or to learn what to expect when you visit the Franklin Park Zoo, browse the zoo website or call 617-541-LION (5466).
Remember that while the transportation to the zoo is complimentary, you will still be expected to pay for an admission ticket. The regular prices for admission are:
Adults $14
Seniors (62+) $11
Kids (2-12) $8
Kids Under 2 FREE
Members FREE
