With its exotic gardens, majestic ocean view, and its diverse animal collection, the Santa Barbara Zoo is the ideal setting for any occasion. We accommodate daytime and evening events, from elegant weddings or dinner parties, to relaxed company picnics. The Zoo offers your guests an experience they’ll never forget.



You have the option of using our customized on-site catering, or using outside catering and vendors of your choice. We offer many extra hour options including leaving the animals out on display, keeping the train running exclusively for your guests, and a bird greeting.
