Go wild with your next event! Whether it is a cocktail reception, class reunion, corporate picnic, magnificent wedding, or any occasion for 75 to 2,500+ guests, we have a variety of venues to set your event apart from the herd. Add an animal experience to any event and get up close and personal with our most famous inhabitants.

Look like a star after having your company function at the Houston Zoo. Did you know that in West Africa, Karamu means "a place of joyful gathering"? And that's exactly what your company picnic for 100 or more will be with Picnic Packages that help you plan everything and include great food choices and fun additions for kids.

Planning a larger event for 2,000 or more? Then maybe an Evening Zoo Rental is more of what you need. Consider the Brown Education Hall - a smaller indoor space during the day which can be set up easily for meetings or dinner parties. Try our Reptile House for an unusual "house" party that will intrigue any guest. The Reptile House complete with pythons, monitor lizards, poison dart frogs and more is the most unique adventure in town.

For an unforgettable pool-side evening, enjoy cocktails and dining at our Sea Lion Deck. For an indoor venue, escape to a lush tropical rainforest with cascading waterfalls and a beautiful built-in bar in our Natural Encounters building. Or try our Wildlife Carousel Plaza - Which features one of the finest working carousels in the world will make the perfect backdrop for your next event.

Treat your guests to an inspirational, untamed, and extraordinary experience when you host your next event at the Houston Zoo. You cannot match the exceptional environment of the Houston Zoo as a location for your next special event.
