Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • You can dine surrounded by wildlife. A variety of unique indoor and outdoor spaces enable your guests to enjoy an elegant dinner while marveling at all sorts of creatures, from gorillas, chimpanzees, giraffes, and gazelles to lions, tigers, crocodiles, and penguins.
  • Café Brauer is an architectural stunner. Its Prairie School design, featuring a vaulted skylit ceiling and Tiffany-inspired glass chandeliers, makes this classic Chicago building a must-see. And breathtaking views of Chicago's famous skyline are available from the venue's terraces.
  • Your "safari" is conveniently located. Being in Lincoln Park means you're close to plenty of hotels, shopping, and restaurants for your guests. Plus, proceeds from your event help keep the animals fed and the zoo open and free year-round.
