Set across 13 hectares in Newtown’s scenic green belt, Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo offers a range of distinctive indoor and outdoor venues designed to inspire. Whether you're planning a corporate workshop, strategy session, team-building day, or private celebration, you'll find a space to match your vision.

Accommodating up to 120 guests theatre-style, Kamala's is our architecturally award-winning space for workshops, presentations and private events.

Our Monkey Island Events Centre seats up to 40 for workshops and captivates guests with views of Spider Monkeys from your own private deck. This space provides a private hub for your group's next workshop and team away day. During breaks, your guests can stretch their legs and explore the Zoo’s beautiful grounds, connecting with nature and each other in ways that typical venues simply can’t offer.

Our Te Kōhanga The Nest Boardroom provides a more intimate setting with panoramic views and an optional breakout space, perfect for strategy sessions and team meetings for up to 20 guests. This site sits above Te Kōhanga The Nest, where our vet team works to keep both animals that live in the Zoo and native wildlife patients happy and healthy.

The Zoo can also accommodate up to 300 guests across its variety of venues and open-air lawns, making it an ideal location for anything from milestone birthdays to corporate Christmas parties.

Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo partners exclusively with Rex Tremendous & Events onsite, who will take care of any catering requirements you need to make your event extra special.

Combining award winning architecture and a stunning natural backdrop, Te Nukuao Wellington Zoo offers a one-of-a-kind setting that goes far beyond the boardroom. Give your guests an unforgettable experience today.
