Big Bear Adventures, Inc. has been the official Zoo-De-Mack transportation since 1992. They offer convenient options to get riders, their bikes and their luggage to their cars for a small fee and accept payment by credit card over the phone. They will also take reservations during registration on Friday night in the lobby of the Zoo Bar and Saturday morning under the tent in the ski area parking lot (payment by cash and check only). Space is limited on all shuttles and therefore should be reserved in advance. While shuttles are not required for the ZDM, they can easily transport you (and your bike!) back to The Highlands after the ride.
Early Bird Saver: Before May 5, 2024
Regular Price: May 5 – Weekend of ZDM
