Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's an exotic stage for a special event. Not only does the zoo offer lush grounds and unique wedding venues, it provides a truly remarkable ambiance, with lions roaring in the distance, monkeys chattering nearby, and giraffes peeking over at your party.
- You can enjoy "Cocktails with the Animals" in a variety of settings. Sip drinks and sample hors d'oeuvres in the company of grizzly and polar bears (the Great Bear Wilderness) or apes, birds, and other inhabitants of Africa's rain-forest canopies. Other environments include The Swamp (think crocs and turtles) and The Living Coast (see moon jellies, sharks, and a myriad of sea creatures).
- The Pavilions at Brookfield Zoo give you a choice of four distinctive event sites—or reserve them all so that your party can flow from your cocktail hour in one to dinner and dancing in another. More banquet facilities, like the Bocaditos with its South American artwork and stunning balcony views, are available, too.
