For those looking for unique and historic venues in Baltimore to hold their wedding reception, corporate party, birthday, mitzvah, family reunion or other special event, look no further than The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. With three venues to choose from including The Lakeside Pavilion, The Mansion House Porch and The Waterfowl Lake Pavilion, there’s a venue here for nearly every event need.
The Lakeside Pavilion sitting idyllically on the edge of Boat Lake is a tranquil location nestled amongst the trees; this venue holds up to 200 guests standing or 150 guests seated and can be rented by the hour, or for a four hour minimum as a stand-alone rental. Lakeside Pavilion is a perfect place for wedding ceremonies, cocktail receptions or any small group gathering alike.
The Mansion House Porch is rich with beauty and history, having gone through a number of renovations in recent decades that has helped transform this circa 1801 building into an elegant wedding venue which can be used in conjunction with the Lakeside Pavilion for a one-hour wedding ceremony. With its butter colored walls, white trim work with gold leaf detail and large, stately wrap-around windows, The Mansion House Porch can house up to 250 guests standing or 150-200 guests seated.
The Waterfowl Pavilion is a great picnic setting venue that has picnic table seating for up to 350 guests inside and outside the pavilion or 100 guests seated under the pavilion, with the entire Waterfowl area allowing for up to 5,000 guests—this is the place to hold your larger events. Special package pricing is available just for Family Reunions, offering discounted Zoo admission tickets in conjunction with the Waterfowl rental.
Included with your venue rental at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, is the Zoo’s Animal Ambassador Program in which the Zoo’s staff will bring the more party going wildlife to your event that is sure to engage and delight your guests.
