The Columbus Zoo is HUGE!! If you've never heard of Water's Edge Boardwalk, that's because it's hidden away. Use the link below to access a map on the zoo's website:

- Start at "Temporary Zoo Entrance," which is just to the left of where the entrance has always been.

- Proceed straight along the row of shops (RED ARROWS).

- Once you get to the large lake, follow the path towards the left side of the lake.

- Go through the tunnel that leads you to the west side of the zoo.

- Follow the path straight and as it curves to the left.

- Once you see the carousel on your right (YELLOW ARROW), look for a black iron gate immediately after the carousel (also on your right).

- Enter the Water's Edge Event Park (RED CIRCLE) through the black gate.

- Follow the path straight, and before you reach the water, you will see two identical buildings towards your left (YELLOW CIRCLE) - that's where we will be! We will be sure to have a sign out so you know you made it to the right spot.

- The cocktail hour will be in the left (west) building, so be sure to head there first. After cocktail hour, dinner will be in the right (east) building.
