Planning for a corporate event? Think outside of the box and go a little wild! The many meeting locations at the world-famous San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo Safari Park can help set your event apart from the rest with its beautiful settings and exotic wildlife. Whether your “herd” is gathering for strategic planning, teambuilding, a product launch, conference or appreciation event, the decidedly unique venues at the Zoo or the Park will have your participants trumpeting about the experience!

Close to downtown, the San Diego Zoo offers a variety of meeting locations ranging from a plantation-style room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a covered patio with Asian elephants in close view, to a festively decorated private party area that can be tented during the winter.

Located just 30 miles north of the Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is a decidedly different and exciting place. Enter the grounds and it’s as if you’ve stepped into Africa – without the long plane ride! The Hunte Nairobi Pavilion, the largest and most centrally located event area at the park, is a round room – modeled after traditional African architecture. Other venues offer views of giraffes, rhinos and waterfowl paddling on a peaceful lagoon.

Of course, the fresh venues are just one reason to plan your event at the Zoo or the Safari Park. Your guests will enjoy taking in the thousands of exotic animals that the Zoo and the Safari Park are famous for! In fact, why wait? You can arrange to have one of our amazing animal ambassadors make an appearance at your event – a “guest speaker” sure to energize your group!

Whatever kind of event you have in mind -- teambuilding, planning retreat, celebration of a new product or great performance -- and wherever it is, the Zoo and Safari Park are ready to make it memorable. Our event planners take great pride in customizing every event to make it the best ever. From guidance in choosing the best location to helping select from the amazing cuisine options, our planners are with you every step of the way – even the day of the event!
