What the Rental Feels Like

Over a focused three‑hour window, the Pronghorn Deck functions as a private outdoor room: guests arrive at the Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary, check in, then settle into a lakeside vantage where picnic benches and open space set the scene for dining, ceremonies, games or casual mingling—while having access to the rest of the zoo included with the party package.
