*Group rates are only available for education groups such as schools, scouts, church school, and organizations that serve the mentally/ physically challenged. School reservations must be made a week in advance to qualify for the reduced rates and free parking. This gives the zoo staff time to create a current parking list for the parking attendants. Current daily reservation limits of 700 children will apply due to the physical ability of the Zoo to handle that many people at once. Call (219) 873-1506 for reservations.

Parking Fees  
Daily $6.00
