Zoo Knoxville

Celebrate in wild style at Zoo Knoxville, East Tennessee's premier event destination. Home to over 1,500 animals across 200 species, our one-of-a-kind venues transform any occasion into an unforgettable adventure. From the rustic-chic BARn with its full bar and fire pits, to the African Grasslands Patio surrounded by giraffes and rhinos, every space offers breathtaking backdrops unlike anywhere else. Host up to 350 guests under our Event Tent, roam the zoo after hours, or reserve exclusive access to Tiger Forest, Timber Loop, and more. Custom catering, animal ambassador appearances, and flexible décor packages ensure every detail is extraordinary. Whether it's a wedding, corporate event, or birthday bash, Zoo Knoxville makes memories as wild as they are wonderful.
