Central Park Zoo

This tranquil oasis in the heart of Manhattan is one of the most idyllic locations in New York City. The Central Park Zoo is a unique event space that is perfect for cocktail receptions and seated dinners. From a day at the zoo with a festive barbecue to a formal gala amid the Manhattan skyline, to a wedding alongside our lemurs, crocodiles, and sea lions, your guests will be treated to a unique event to remember at the New York Zoos and Aquarium! A unique, outdoor event space that is perfect for both cocktail receptions and seated dinners. This open space has the flexibility to accommodate a variety of event layouts. A nearly 200’ long, clear-top seasonal tent is included in the site fee, with options to add-on connecting tents for those events with larger guest counts; up to 700-seated. The moss-covered colonnades also provide for additional covered space, as well as a tranquil backdrop to any photo. Exclusive access to exhibits are available, based on sunset times. The Central Park Zoo is much more than just a zoo, it’s a premiere event location!
