The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

Mansion House is a historic event venue at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, available to hire for weddings, private celebrations and corporate occasions. Dating to around 1801, the building offers a distinctive setting within Druid Hill Park, with large windows and a wrap-around porch looking out over mature trees and the Zoo grounds. The porch is enclosed and air-conditioned, making it suitable for events throughout the year.

Organisers can book the space for wedding ceremonies and receptions, seated dinners, cocktail receptions, networking events and other gatherings. Depending on the layout, the venue can accommodate up to 250 guests standing, 200 guests for a seated event, or 180 for a wedding reception. The rental includes chairs and a selection of round, cocktail and banquet tables, as well as on-site staff, security, maintenance support and free parking. Set-up and breakdown time are included within the rental arrangements.

The Maryland Zoo also offers couples a dedicated wedding option, with ceremony and reception hire, and provides rental information for corporate and social events. Organisers can enquire about adding animal ambassadors to a cocktail hour for a memorable guest experience. Catering, audio-visual equipment, Zoo admission and other Zoo services are separate from the venue rental, so planners can review the venue guidelines and coordinate these requirements in advance.

With its historic character, adaptable indoor space and unusual Zoo setting, Mansion House gives event planners a distinctive Baltimore location for celebrations and business gatherings.
