Central Park Zoo is a tranquil oasis in the heart of Manhattan and one of the most idyllic locations in New York City. The iconic Central Park landmark is available for cocktail receptions and for sit-down dinners in the garden during warm-weather months. Hold your ceremony in the garden’s white event tent, your reception follows accented be festive lighting. Or choose to have your dinner under the covered, pergola with its skylight covering, exposed wooden beams, brick columns and stone floor. Whether sipping cocktails as the sea lions glide gracefully through the water or strolling through the lush gardens taking in the elegant architecture, you and your guests will be inspired by exotic wildlife and breathtaking city skyline views. For even more animal loving fun, you can book live sea lion demonstrations and tours for your special day. The event staff will assist you with all the details and will work with you to ensure your day is memorable.
