ScooterPals offer a unique and fun way to get around the Zoo. Stop by the Welcome Center, located near the front entrance of the Zoo, to reserve your favorite ScooterPal.

Serving up joy and entertainment for virtually all ages, the plush scooters can accommodate up to two riders and are available as timed rentals, which means renters can ride their ScooterPals for as little or as long as they want – whether it’s for a quick thrill or a full day of fun. The rental process is quick and easy: Visitors simply scan the QR code (no app download needed), complete the form and they’re ready to rent and roll.
