Do-It-Yourself Celebrations

Looking for a fun and unique place to host a celebration? During regular business hours, BioPark visitors are welcome to celebrate personal special occasions such as birthdays, baby showers, or small family reunions during your visit.

Each guest must purchase general admission; please note that group discounts are not available for Do-It-Yourself Celebrations. Tickets can be purchased in advance online or at the ticket booths onsite. Hosts are responsible for distributing tickets to their group.

You're welcome to bring your own food and enjoy a picnic in designated public areas. Great spots include the Festival Green at the Botanic Garden, the plaza in front of the Aquarium, the grassy peninsula at Tingley Beach, or Central Parq at the Zoo. Most areas do not have seating, so we highly recommend bringing blankets and lawn chairs for your gathering. Pop-up tents and canopies are not permitted. No food or drinks will be allowed inside the Aquarium

The BioPark is not available for private rentals at this time, including corporate events or weddings
