Located just a few miles from Downtown Norfolk and nestled on the Lafayette River, Virginia Zoo is the perfect escape from the ordinary. We offer a variety of outdoor venue options that are unlike any other venue in the area. Whether it's a child's birthday, company picnic, ceremony, reception, executive luncheon, team building outing, or charity function, Virginia Zoo is the location to exceed your wildest dreams! We are currently accepting reservations for 2021 with enhanced sanitizing procedures, limited seating capacities and lots of open space for your guests.
