Turn an ordinary picnic into an extraordinary outing at the Zoo! Enjoy mouth-watering favorites, expertly prepared by our chefs and served hot n’ fresh! Choose from several picnic options, like our Classic Picnic featuring burgers and hot dogs, our Backyard BBQ Picnic featuring pulled pork and BBQ chicken, or our Southern Style Picnic with savory rotisserie chicken and mouth-watering grilled ham steaks with pineapple.
Our picnic buffets require a minimum of 25 people, but if your group is smaller than that we can prepare a custom plated picnic package just for you!
