Mansion House at the Maryland Zoo

Looking for an elegant setting without that stuffy feeling? A place where you can add a Penguin to your black tux affair? A wedding at the Maryland Zoo Mansion house is a beautiful historic (circa 1801) venue to strike this balance.  This unique space features a four-side layout, large windows on all side for natural beautiful light and buttery yellow paint that accents the warm romantic light glowing from the chandeliers. A perfect setting for your Maryland Zoo wedding photography memories. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception options. The Mansion house is the premier space for indoor celebrations and the Pavilions are the fantastic outdoor location options.

The Lakeside Pavilion is  one of their outdoor options for both your ceremony and an outdoor reception. This serene private setting is located at the Boat Lake and is the perfect waterfront backdrop for your event. 

Located near the Zoo’s main gate and tram stop for easy access to our exhibits is the Waterfrowl Pavilion. This is a fantastic option for an outdoor party with plenty of room for activities, dancing, and celebrating!
