Great Experience

I had a surprise 60th birthday party for my dad and it was amazing! The venue was beautiful, the event staff was super helpful and friendly, and the event planner, Kathleen, was an absolute dream to work with. It was expensive but the food was delicious and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my out of town guests, especially those who had never been to the zoo before.
