Host a Zoo Event to Remember:
All events and party rentals are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Both a completed contract and payment are required to book.
When you’re ready to book, contact GSales@rwpzoo.org with the type of event, possible event dates/times, and any helpful context or requests for your event. Events are booking FAST so schedule yours soon!
All events take place rain-or-shine. Outings typically take place in one of the zoo’s outdoor tented locations. This way, you are protected from sun or showers, and never have to worry about a rain date. In winter, we do have an indoor location where we will schedule outings. For evening events, we’ll help you maximize zoo features to ensure your event can go on no matter the forecast.
Face masks may be required for all guests (regardless of vaccination status) during a private animal encounter. Additional masking may be required at any point, based on state guidance and zoo policy.
