Some occasions are best marked somewhere that feels a little further from the everyday. At Werribee Open Range Zoo, our private event spaces are shaped by the landscape that surrounds, open, expansive and alive with character. From birthdays and engagements to christenings, we help craft gatherings that feel easy, personally curated and deeply memorable.
Options include the Meerkat Room, overlooking the playful meerkat habitat, and the Slumber Dining Hut, set against open plains with a private outdoor area and firepit. Our team can assist with catering, service and styling – so you can relax and enjoy the moment.
Celebrate a birthday milestone among wide-open plains and playful meerkats. Whether it’s a relaxed outdoor gathering or a seated dinner in the Meerkat Room, our team can assist with venue selection, styling and catering.
With a peaceful setting and a choice of indoor and outdoor venues, Werribee Zoo Events offers a thoughtful backdrop for christening receptions. Our team can arrange food, drinks and service to suit the occasion, creating a warm, welcoming space for family and friends to gather.
Mark the moment of your big day with a celebration that feels vibrant and personal. From long lunches and sunset cocktails to high teas, we’ll help you shape a day that brings your favourite people together in a setting that feels just right.
Each of our private event spaces at Werribee Open Range Zoo offers its own distinct atmosphere, from the sunlit deck of the Meerkat Room to the cosy intimacy of the Slumber Dining Hut. Set against a backdrop of open plains and native wildlife, our private venues balance flexibility with character, allowing your celebration to unfold naturally in a place that feels connected and alive.

“Location was a great setting for our wedding. The animal experiences made for very unique wedding photos and set the scene for a fun and relaxed event. Having everything at one location was a bonus. The venue was everything we wanted: a garden wedding, central to CBD, and amongst nature.”
