Entry Plaza Overview

By reorganizing the geometry of the parking lot and expanding the plaza, CALM’s improved entry experience will increase safety, boost revenue, and improve overall guest satisfaction. 

New Parking

We’re redesigning the main and overflow parking areas to make it easier to get in, out, and around the Zoo.

Updated Entrance

The entrance will be more welcoming, with new landscaping, artwork, and clear signs guiding visitors to the main gate.

School Bus Entrance

Drivers will enjoy an easy car loop for quick drop-offs, and school groups will have their own bus lane and direct Zoo entry.

New Entry Village

New Entry Village will include ticketing, guest services, a gift shop, café, and education and rehabilitation entries

Cafe

The Café will be located just outside the gates, giving cyclists and guests a welcoming place to gather and eat.

Gift Shop

The new CALM Zoo gift shop offers a fresh space for guests to browse unique souvenirs and memorable keepsakes that support CALM Zoo’s mission.

Education Hub

The current Entry Building will be transformed into an Education Hub, with flexible classrooms, storage, and space for learning programs.

Rehab Entry

A dedicated entry point that allows animals arriving for rehabilitation to enter the facility without passing through the main visitor gates.
