SF Zoo parking

[RangerPooh]

What's the parking like at the SF Zoo these days? I haven't been there since I moved out of the area 10 years ago, but recall you needed to get there well before zoo opening in order to get a spot on the street lining the zoo.

Another question- DH and I use to take Bart, muni or walk all over the city rather than drive in. These days we've got 4 kids and a double stroller, how bad is muni/cable cars with large strollers? I know Bart's ok but not during commute hours, lol.

Thanks!

The lot is $10. With 4 kids it might be well worth it. At the end of the day the ticket window is often closed, and I've seen them leave out exit vouchers. Each has a unique bar code that allow it to be used once. I suppose they do this to keep people from getting stranded and/or jamming up the gate. Of course I'm not suggesting you try to park in the lot for free, but I just wanted to mention it.

If you're willing to walk, there's parking on the side streets if you can't find a parking spot on Sloat.
