Directions to The Zoo:
Telephone: 617-872-6008
From East of Revere: SWIM!!!!
From South or West of Revere:
Take the Tobin bridge (Route 1) to the Revere Beach
exit (exits are not numbered). Sign says Route 16 to 1A Revere
Beach. Follow Route 16 straight at traffic light to rotary.
At rotary, take first right on to route 1A. Follow
(below).
From North, or North West of Revere:
Follow Route 1 to the exit for Route 60 (again,
there are no exit numbers). Follow Route 60 east. At the
rotary with route 107, remain on Route 60 (There are Dunkin Donuts on
both sides of this rotary). Go straight through the first traffic
light (Marganellies liquor store is on your right at this
intersection). Very carefully, at the rotary that is the
intersection of Route 60 (60 ends here), Route 16 (16 also ends here),
and route 1A, take third turn on to route 1A North. Follow (below).
More Directions:
Go straight through the next two traffic lights,
passing Dunkin’ Donuts on right at first light and Stop and Shop on
right at second light. At the next rotary, take the second right
turn to follow route 1A North. Go Past the Wonderland T
station. Continue straight at the next traffic light, passing a
7/11 on right. There is a very small river under the road; you
might miss it, but once you see this opening you are technically no
longer on the ‘mainland’. At the next traffic light, turn right
onto Oak Island Street (Teddy’s convenience store is on the left of the
intersection). Take your second right turn on to Arcadia
Street.
55 Arcadia Street is on the right five houses after
Argyle Street; it is a two story white house, next to a three story tan
house. I will leave the Black Honda Element on the street.
People may use my driveway.
MBTA:
Take the blue line to Wonderland station. The outbound
train exits on the ocean side of the station. Turn left on
Boulevard and walk two blocks to Kelly's Roast Beef. Turn
left on to Oak Island Street. The first left will be
Arcadia Street. 55 Arcadia Street is on the second block, about
midway down. House is well marked, and the Honda Element
will be parked on the street.
