Your Event at Zoo Basel - A Unique Experience
Zolli is where your event becomes a celebration
Rooms
Zolli-Saal
The Foyer - Events in the Most Beautiful Light
Our foyer makes your occasion shine. The artistic roof construction floods the entire space with
natural light. Here, speeches and panel discussions are particularly effective.
The pleasantly bright atmosphere is also appreciated for aperitifs or for casual snacks during longer meetings and seminars.
The foyer leads directly into the elegant Zolli-Saal and can thus be ideally combined with it.
We are happy to tailor the foyer to your occasion.
The Zolli-Saal - Elegant and Versatile
The Zolli-Saal is inviting and suitable for banquets, weddings, dinners, corporate meals, general meetings, as well as for presentations and lectures.
Since it can be divided into three independent rooms with soundproof walls, flexible options for occasions of almost any type open up. In nice weather, you and your guests can step out onto the spacious terrace, where you are immersed in a unique natural experience
again - with an exclusive view of the Tembea elephant enclosure.
The foyer and the Zolli-Saal offer space for up to 120 dining guests.
Restaurant Saal EG
Classic and Versatile
In the evening, when the Zolli closes, the heart of the house transforms into a fascinating banquet hall for your occasion. The restaurant presents itself architecturally impressive with
panoramic windows overlooking the Tembea elephant enclosure and the birdhouse.
Here, we host gatherings with up to 400 people, but also smaller aperitifs and jubilees.
In a unique yet classic setting, beautiful company celebrations, banquets, as well as lectures
and presentations take place. During the summer months, doors are opened wide to the terrace, creating the atmosphere of the nocturnal Zolli.

Immer wieder wunderschön. Sehr gepflegt und hilfreiches Personal.
Das Vivarium ist großartig und ansonsten auch eine schöne Zooanlage. Wir waren mit kleinen Kindern nach 5h durch, hatten aber auch keine lange Mittagspause dort.
Schöner Zoo allerdings sind die parkplätze knapp man muss ins parkhaus ausweichen die Gehege sind etwas klein
Der Zoo ist sehr schön, vielfältige Tiere und auch für kleine Kinder was, weil er nicht so weitläufig ist, wie z.b der Züri-Zoo . Allerdings wären Wegweiser mit Tiermotiven wie im Züri-Zoo super hilfreich, dass man nicht ständig auf die Karte schauen muss.... Das würde es entspannter, einfacher und übersichtlicher machen. Die Erzählung bei der Seehundfütterung ist zu lange. Es sind mehrheitlich Kinder anwesend. Bitte kürzen
Schöner kleiner Zoo. Man schafft alles an einem Tag ;)
Der Zoo ist sehr schön angelegt .
