No matter what the season, an event at the Zambezi River Lodge inside Peoria Zoo is one you will remember!
Zambezi River Village
An indoor and outdoor banquet facility at within Peoria Zoo. The River Village overlooks the Africa! exhibit. The village is available for receptions, corporate events, or group meetings. Our banquet hall can hold up to 200 guests and looks out over the lush green vegetation of Africa. Rhinos, giraffes, zebras, lions, mandrill and other wildlife will graze peacefully while your guests will enjoy themselves.
