We are very excited to hold our wedding at the Toledo Zoo. Our rehearsal dinner will be help at the Arctic Encounters, and our ceremony will be held in the gardens. After that, we will move into the African Lodge for our reception. The people at the zoo have been wonderful and we thank them with all of our hearts.

Some Zoo history -

The Toledo Zoo is a zoo located in Toledo, Ohio. The zoo began in 1900 as the Toledo Zoological Gardens and operated by the City of Toledo's Parks Board. In 1982 ownership was transferred from the city to the Toledo Zoological Society, a private non-profit organization, and professionalized the zoo's management. Many of the zoo's original buildings were built by the Works Progress Administration, and are still in use today.

The Toledo Zoo participates in over 30 Species Survival Plans. It is also a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the Butterfly Conservation Initiative. The zoo has also been home to many firsts in the world of zoos; such as the first hippoquarium (and subsequently the first video of a hippo birth), as well as the only place in the world where the Kihansi Spray Toad is on display. It also is only the second zoo in the world to have saddle-billed storks as a part of its collection.
