Minnesota Zoo
The Minnesota Zoo is one of the premier zoological facilities in the Midwest, spread across 500 acres in Apple Valley — about 10 miles north of Lakeville on Cedar Avenue (CR-23). It houses more than 4,500 animals across 500 species, and its rotating exhibits and IMAX theater make it a strong choice for school groups, family reunions, and corporate outings alike. The zoo's main entrance is accessible from Zoo Boulevard off Cedar Avenue, and the large surface parking lots accommodate charter buses and oversized vehicles.
Call ahead to the Minnesota Zoo group visits page to confirm bus parking assignment and group admission rates before your visit.
