San Francisco Zoo, founded in 1929 and located just off Ocean Beach, is one of the most unique venues in the Bay Area for hosting your next event. Whether planning your child’s birthday party, a large wedding, or corporate event of any kind, we’ll work with you to customize a get-together your guests won’t soon forget. Our elegant suites and stylish meeting rooms are set among 100 acres of zoological gardens, home to 260 different species of animals; an inspiring setting to nurture an unforgettable event. Our versatile venue spaces can be set up in a number of styles, ideal for meetings, conferences, presentations, product launches, dinner dances, summer picnics, staff retreats and holiday parties. To support your organization’s Corporate Responsibility Policy, we use sustainable and fair trade produce, locally sourced wherever possible. In addition, all Zoo profits from your event will go towards our conservation projects, helping critically endangered animals and their habitats around the world. By hosting your event at the Zoo, you are helping provide a better world for animals through education and conservation efforts both locally and internationally. Please note that an “event” is defined as a catered affair with food and beverage supplied by our exclusive in house caterer. Event spaces are not rented without catering.
