The marketing and public relations staff promotes and markets the Virginia Zoo as a premier attraction to not only the Hampton Roads area but to the entire State of Virginia and out-of-market tourists. Staff disseminates news to the media and public relations opportunities.

The special events department provides the chance to rent a variety of outdoor and indoor venues - offering wide appeal to all ages. Special programs are offered to not only members throughout the year (Egg-stravaganza Enrichment Day, Zoo Boo, etc.), but to residents of the Hampton Roads community. Check out our special events facility rentals page and offer a unique day of discovery for your guests as they celebrate special occasions throughout the year.
