Transportation

Electric Shuttle

During warmer months, our electric shuttle bus offers free, accessible roundtrip service between the Forest Hills MBTA station and the Giraffe Entrance at Franklin Park Zoo. This eco-friendly shuttle takes you on a scenic ride through Franklin Park, making it a convenient and enjoyable way to get to the Zoo!

Bluebikes

Visitors to Franklin Park Zoo can take advantage of VIP parking at the on-site Bluebike station. This offers a seamless, sustainable and hassle-free way to travel. With Bluebikes, riders can rent a bike at one station, enjoy their journey, and conveniently drop it off at another location, making it an ideal option for exploring the city while reducing their carbon footprint.

Bike Racks

Thanks to a grant from Liberty Mutual, we’re upgrading our bike racks and adding new ones at both Franklin Park Zoo and Stone Zoo, making space for up to 50 bicycles. This initiative supports sustainable transportation, and new animal-themed bike racks are already in the works!

EV Charging

As a compliment to our solar canopy project, which generates approximately 700KW annually, Stone Zoo is in the process of installing electric vehicle charging stations.
