Zoo Atlanta has partnered with Lyft to provide free rides to and from two MARTA stations, with some restrictions.

To get the offer, request a ride from King Memorial or Five Points stations — those areas are geofenced — between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.  You'll automatically receive a promo code, ZOOATL, valid for a direct trip to Zoo Atlanta.

To use the offer on your return trip, request a ride to the King Memorial or Five Points MARTA stations from Zoo Atlanta.

Here are the restrictions: Zoo Atlanta will cover up to $10 per trip, and exceptions may apply during prime-time pricing.

Zoo Atlanta is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
