All requests for reservations shall be made in writing at least ten (10) working days (or two weeks) prior to the scheduled event to the Zoo Department, PO Box 499, Garden City, KS 67846.

All requests shall state:
 
  • Description/location of facility desired

    Questionable or large events that will involve multiple city departments may be forwarded to the City Manager's office for his and/or City Commission's approval.

    Approved events will be confirmed in writing and will be posted on the shelter's reservation board.

    It will be the responsibility of the reservee to dispose of trash generated by the event and to follow any and all rules and ordinances established by the City of Garden City and the Zoo Department.
