In January of 1996, The ZOO opened our new multi-media entertainment facility, The Serengeti Room. The Serengeti Room, located above the "Karibu Kitchen" Restaurant is approximately 3,000 square feet of open area and is perfect for company parties, wedding receptions, monthly meetings, etc. The spacious room is surrounded on all sides by sliding glass doors that open up onto the balcony that overlooks the park. For daytime events the room is lit with fluorescent lighting, and spotlighting with dimmers is available for a softer look in the evening.

If you are planning a meeting or workshop, microphones, podiums, slide projectors, and other equipment are available. The Serengeti Room also provides easy accommodations for bands and entertainment. The combination of carpeted and tiled flooring makes a wonderful party room with an accessible dance floor.

The ZOO also offers catering with a variety of menus. The Serengeti Room is available during ZOO hours, and after ZOO hours for private evenings. Call The ZOO to reserve The Serengeti Room for your next meeting or party!

The ZOO is a wonderful place to tie the knot! Get married in the beautiful Boma Pavilion, or among the gorgeous spring blooms in our Japanese Garden. A wide and varied menu is offered by the catering staff in the 3000 square foot Serengeti Room. Feel free to dance on Serengeti's tile floor or look over the beautiful zoo grounds off the balcony. The outdoor package is available for those who prefer the lighted ambience of tiki torches and lanterns. Feel free to ask that the zoo's resident animals roam the zoo grounds during the ceremony and reception. Your guests may want to ride the zoo's train, have their faces painted by zoo staff.
