Minnesota Zoo 
For a larger-than-life experience consider hosting your next corporate event at the Twin Cities' most exotic venue: the Minnesota Zoo. The Minnesota Zoo is located in Apple Valley on 500 rolling wooded acres and is home to a lush tropical forest and aviary, marine center, boreal forest and a family farm. With more than 3,000 animals representing over 400 species, you are bound for a thrilling adventure.

The Minnesota Zoo has the accommodations to make your event captivating. Meetings and events can be hosted in one of our three unique event spaces. 

- Discovery Bay
With its pristine marine setting, Discovery Bay provides a breathtaking setting and is a unique getaway from the office. Framed between three marine habitats: one housing Atlantic bottlenose dolphins in a 500,000 gallon pool, another a 200,000 gallon tank complete with stingrays and sharks and the third consisting of an interactive touch tank - all making Discovery Bay a dramatic location for your event. 

- The Tropics
One of the Minnesota Zoo's internationally acclaimed exhibits is a one-of-a-kind setting for your next corporate event.

Bring your colleagues on a journey to the Zoo's Tropical Forest. Begin your event with a stroll along a living tropical rainforest where you will encounter free-flight birds, the Komodo dragon and many nocturnal creatures native to Southeast Asia. The 80,000 gallon coral reef exhibit, featuring hundreds of species of fish will captivate your guests. Your event will be hosted at the end of the trail in your own private setting with high ceilings and soothing forest sounds. Make sure to also enjoy the adjoining terrace overlooking the Zoo's main lake. 

- The Call of the Wild Café
This spectacular area features floor-to-ceiling windows with a panoramic view of the zoo's main lake. During the warmer months your guests may be tempted to stroll outdoors on the expansive terrace and enjoy a moonlit sky shimmering on the water below or they may witness beautiful summer sunsets while watching Trumpeter swans glide across the water.
