Summer Shuttle

The Alaska Zoo operates a FREE summer shuttle with a looped route between Downtown Anchorage and the Alaska Zoo. Our shuttle requires online reservations in advance.

Please note: Due to a driver shortage, we will only be operating the shuttle on the following remaining days this summer:

• Friday, July 31st

• Wednesday, August 5th

• Thursday, August 6th

• Saturday, August 8th

The pickup location in Downtown Anchorage is on the north side of 4th Avenue between D and E Streets. Click here to view a photo of the Downtown shuttle location. This change is due to renovations Downtown. The meeting location at the zoo is next to the Gift Shop, curbside at the entry to the lower parking lot.

Each trip is reserved separately, both to and from the zoo. The last shuttle to the zoo departs from Downtown at 1:30pm. The last shuttle from the zoo departs for Downtown at 2:30pm. If you plan to be at the zoo past 2:30pm, you will need to book alternate transportation (Uber, Lyft, Taxi) to return Downtown.
