Parking
Download Como Map for the location of our parking lots. There are a number of parking lots throughout the Como Regional Park area.
Guests can now be dropped off even closer to the door thanks to the new Minnesota and Circle Gardens! Incorporated within the gardens is a circle turnaround that provides a safe and convenient, designated loading and unloading location for school buses, guests with limited mobility, and larger groups.
Beginning May 1st residential permit parking restrictions will be in effect. There will be no parking allowed on many streets west of Como Park from 10am-4pm, May 1-September 30 without a City issued permit. Do not park on streets with signs indicating “Permit Parking Only”.
Many institutions & destinations in St. Paul, such as colleges and heavily visited shopping areas, have permit parking in & around the surrounding neighborhoods. Permit parking was sought after by the surrounding residents and implemented by Saint Paul City Council in 2011. Como Park Zoo & Conservatory recognizes & respects that the parking outside of the park should be easily accessible and obtainable for residents.
