Catered Picnics

Planning your next company picnic doesn't have to give you a headache.  Take a break in the shade under our four open-air shelters at the Whiting Safari Camp.  Conveniently located near the playground and carousel, this relaxing space is ideal for your next picnic or family gathering in the spring, summer and fall months.  Our shelters can accommodate 50 people to several thousand.

Find the perfect package below for your next company or group outing.

Hereburger are a few guidelines that will help get you started with planning your catered picnic:

  • For the best value, select one of our new all-inclusive picnic packages or Build Your Own
  • Availability and price is based upon group size and event date.  Weekend dates are reserved for groups of 75 or more.
  • Dates book quickly so reserve your date and space today!
  • Get up close and personal with a Wildlife Comes to You (for catered picnics only)
  • For Non-Catered groups, shelter rentals are only available Monday - Friday and must be booked 10 business days in advance.  Prices vary based on group size.
