The dress code is formal attire. Women, break out long jumpsuits or dresses that are knee length or longer. Women, please do not wear white. Men, please wear suits or a nice sports coat and dress shoes (no jeans or hats please!). Please follow this dress code, you will be asked to leave if not.

Question

Where should we park?

Answer

There is plenty of free parking near the entrance of the John Ball Zoo. The funicular will be running to bring people up to the venue. This is weather dependent, so, if unavailable, there will be black vans in the zoo parking lot to shuttle people to our beautiful venue. Please allow for extra time for this process, the funicular can hold 30 people at a time every 10 minutes, and the vans can carry 15-20 people every 15 minutes. :)
