Parking at Adelaide Zoo on Frome Road
Adelaide Zoo is at LOT 590 Frome Road, Adelaide SA 5000, near North Adelaide. There is no parking available on the grounds, so drivers need to use surrounding public spaces rather than expecting an on-site car park (adelaidezoo.com.au).
Visitors have access to a number of four-hour and 10-hour parking spaces close to the site (adelaidezoo.com.au). A special $7 flat rate for all-day parking for zoo visitors applies on weekends (zoossa.com.au). The available time limits make the shorter spaces more suitable for a brief visit, while the 10-hour spaces are the practical choice for a longer day.

Nearby alternatives include U Park’s Frome Street car park, which lists $13 early-bird parking from Monday to Saturday, $18 weekday parking, $26 for a lost ticket, $24 on a public holiday and $24 for weeknight parking (upark.com.au). U Park also lists weekend parking at $14 (upark.com.au).
Wilson Parking identifies Fourteen Car Park on North Terrace, 251 North Terrace Car Park and Adelaide Central Car Park as nearby options, with advertised rates from $3, from $3 and from $5 respectively (wilsonparking.com.au). The zoo’s visitor information also points drivers towards a number of four-hour and 10-hour spaces rather than an attraction-owned car park (adelaidezoo.com.au).
When Frome Road Parking Fills Around Adelaide Zoo
Weekend visits can bring extra pressure because the special $7 all-day visitor rate applies on weekends and encourages longer stays (zoossa.com.au).
