Each of these venues offers its own unique features that help it stand out as being memorable, exceptional, captivating or inspirational.
Spooky Nook Sports Manheim, PA
Spooky Nook Sports offers an amazing sports complex in Pennsylvania that can accommo- date a wide range of athletic events and team building functions. But what’s really interesting about this venue is its ability to transform into a spectacular function space for hosting a wide range of special events.
"Hosting your meeting or event at a unique venue can help set you apart,” explains Mackenzie Bender, PR and communications manager for Spooky Nook Sports. “Putting your group in a space that feels new and interesting can create an excitement among your guests from the moment they walk in the door."
Upon entering Spooky Nook, which is the largest sports complex in North America, guests immediately can sense this will be an experience unlike any other, Bender asserts. “With over 700,000-square feet of space, our size alone is enough to set us apart. When you add in our in-house catering team and on-site hotel, it takes our venue to the next level."
The team at Spooky Nook works very closely with customers and planners to ensure that each event will be a success, she explains. “Doing our own catering and housing allows us to be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for a planner looking to hold an event with us."
"Food and beverage can be crucial when car- rying out a successful event,” Mackenzie asserts. “Our team works diligently to make the menu for each event as unique as the event itself. Whether it’s roasting an entire pig for a pulled pork bar or a made-to-order pasta station, guests will love the creative options."
The Nook, as it is known, offers a variety of team building packages and on-site entertain- ment options, too. From its rock wall to its arcade to a full-service bar and restaurant, this facility is jam packed with one-of-a-kind expe- riences available to groups. The sky is the limit when it comes to putting together unforget- table functions at this extremely cool venue.

Elmwood Park Zoo Norristown, PA
According to Chelsea Nejbauer, marketing associate for the Elmwood Park Zoo, “When you book your next event at Elmwood Park Zoo, not only do you treat your guests to a highly interactive experience at one of the most unique venues in the Greater Philadelphia area, but you also support a very important non-profit organization.”
Its facilities are ideal for fundraisers, corporate events, milestone birthdays, family gatherings, and more. Elmwood Park Zoo offers opportu- nities to create a unique and lasting experi- ence for guests by adding on animal feedings, zoo tours, animal encounters and more.
"Our unique zoo location features many key event spaces that allow you to experience our animals up close,” explains Nejbauer. “Host your event in our state-of-the-art Trail of the Jaguar exhibit, where your guests can enjoy being surrounded by jaguars, an ocelot, and other animals from the American southwest.”
“Choose to exchange your vows at our bald eagle lookout deck; share a toast outside our rustic red barn; sing happy birthday under- neath the bison exhibit archway; or celebrate in any of the zoo’s scenic outdoor ceremony locations,” she continues. “Our unique event facilities are perfect for any special event."
Nejbauer adds that Elmwood Park Zoo ensures planners have all the necessary tools and information for their event to run smoothly. “We can provide extra assistance, catering, setup and breakdown, clean up, in-house table and chains, linen tablecloths and more."
