Private Events at the Zoo

Plan an Event at the Zoo

From intimate affair to gala celebration, the single most important ingredient to the success of any event is the location.

The natural setting of the Virginia Zoo – with its well-appointed landscapes, gardens and public spaces – is the picture-perfect location for your group event.

Not only are we one of Virginia’s most popular and most accessible destinations, our ability to entertain thousands of visitors each day make us especially well suited to accommodate groups of 15 to 500.

We offer different options for various types of events.  But two variables are standard with all Virginia Zoo event packages: originality and fun.

There’s so much you can do at the Zoo!

Details, details. Don’t fret ‘em. We’ll handle ‘em.

One of the many beautiful things about planning your event at the Zoo is the ease in which every detail is covered.

We’ll help you rent amusements like a bounce house or casino games through Big Top Entertainment, schedule special encounters with some of our animal ambassadors, and so much more.
