About Our Venue

The Zoo’s stylish suites, contemporary meeting rooms, and private outdoor spaces are available day and evening throughout the year. As an unusual alternative to the traditional ceremony or cocktail hour, we offer a variety of Animal Houses for hire, ranging from tropical rainforests to animal kingdoms. Here networking or celebrating guests can enjoy everything from Bellinis to barbeques and if that’s not enough, live Animal Encounters are also available. So whether your group hand feeds the giraffes or you book a personal visit from Miles the alligator and friends, you can be assured that your valued guests will leave having had a fun and meaningful animal experience.

By holding your event with us, you will see all Zoo profits go to conservation, helping critically endangered animals and their habitats around the world.
