If you’ve ever dreamed of being surrounded by woodland creatures while in a beautiful gown, then Como Park Zoo is your “I do” venue! With exotic flora and fauna throughout the grounds and exquisite scenery, Como Park Zoo is a stunning and unique venue for your special day.

There are several unique venues for your event at Como Park Zoo. For larger events, the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory is the premier venue on the grounds. With a striking exterior that harkens back to Old England countryside, the glass and wood structure is an iconic figure, stunning in its simplicity. With soaring glass ceilings above and exquisite flora throughout, guests will be in awe of their surroundings. Walk down the aisle through a ceremony venue that has been arranged to suit your dreams and desires for your big day. Draped in twinkling lights and beautiful linens, the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory is available for a spectacular cocktail hour, absolutely magical ceremony, and a reception to dance the night away in celebration of your nuptials.

Several truly majestic gardens are located within Marjorie McNeely Conservatory that is perfect for your ceremony. The Sunken Garden, known for its tumbled tile floor and reflection pool, make for a fairytale ceremony for 100 guests. The North Garden, with beautiful tropical plants and flowers, figure eight reflection pool, and enchanting greenery is available for up to 50 guests. The Enchanted Garden, located outside the Conservatory, boasts a beautiful, bountiful garden of annuals and perennials. The Enchanted Garden earned its name by featuring expansive views of the grounds while retaining an intimate atmosphere.

Outside of the Conservatory, the Visitor Center and other outdoor venues are available for hosting your event. The Visitor Center, equipped with excellent technology and audiovisual equipment, offers a flexible event space for any event. With its soaring, modern glass exterior, the Visitor Center boasts five options for event venues. The covered porch featured in the exterior of the building offers covered outdoor venue space with expansive views of the well-manicured lawns of Como Park. Just outside the spectacular floor to ceiling windows, the pristine lily pond makes for a beautiful backdrop.
