Ndoki Lodge Private Event Rental

"Can't beat meeting at the zoo! The room was spacious, nice big tables, the chairs could be more comfortable. The food was provided by the zoo and it was delicious."

"I was the DJ at a Graduation celebration. I was very impressed with the facility and service."

"They need to have more than 1 person working, lines are always backed up."

"Great space for company events. Social distancing was respected and the food was really good!"

"We went to a wedding at the zoo and the reception was held at the Lodge. The bar (beer on tap and wine) was at an outdoor kiosk. Staff offered hors d'oeuvres (melon with prosciutto and spinach dip filled mushrooms). Indoors, there were tables with seating (maybe 9 tables, 10 seats each, situated in the middle), a dance area, a DJ table, gift table, cake table with a cupcake display (in the front by the entrance), and 4 stations in the back with heavy hors d'oeuvres. The food was all very good - cheesy risotto balls, pork sandwiches, carved turkey (alone or with a roll for a sandwich), myo salads, and a mac-n-cheese bar w/ toppings - but I'm not sure if the caterer was associated with the Zoo/Ndoki Lodge, and if so, what other options were available. There are restrooms by the Lodge. While the wedding party was taking their pictures, the staff directed us to the Lodge, but allowed us to walk around a different path to see if any animals were out, which the kids (and zoo-loving adults) really enjoyed! The zoo also changed the main digital sign welcoming the wedding guests."
