Explore the Wonders of Little Rock Zoo

Getting There

• Car

  To reach Little Rock Zoo from Pinnacle Mountain State Park by car, head southeast on Pinnacle Valley Road from the park entrance. Follow this road as it curves and leads to AR-10 E. Merge onto AR-10 E and continue for approximately 15 minutes. Take the exit toward I-430 S and merge onto I-430 S. After about 5 miles, take exit 7 for I-630 E towards Little Rock. Continue on I-630 E for about 4 miles, then take exit 3B for Broadway Street. Merge onto Broadway Street, then turn left onto 12th Street. Continue on 12th Street until you reach Zoo Drive. Turn right onto Zoo Drive, and you will see the entrance to Little Rock Zoo on your left. There may be parking fees at the zoo, so be prepared for additional costs.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, you will need to take a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) from Pinnacle Mountain State Park to the nearest bus station in Little Rock, as there are no direct public transit options from the park. Once in Little Rock, you can take the Rock Region Metro bus (Route 1) towards the Central Arkansas Library System. Get off at the stop nearest to the zoo, then walk a few blocks to Zoo Drive. This option may vary in price depending on your taxi or rideshare service fare, and the bus fare is typically around $1.25 per ride.
