Breakfast Menu

Indulge your family and friends this holiday season by treating them to a gourmet, festive breakfast at Lakeside Cafe in the heart of the Zoo. Each private table will be dressed with linen and china. Relax and enjoy the catered meal including ham and cheese or spinach quiche for adults and French toast sticks for children, sausage links, seasonal fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes and choice of beverages.

Bonus Feature

Holiday costumed characters will delight children as they visit the tables. When Santa makes his grand appearance and fills the room with his hearty "Ho Ho Ho"s, your family will have the opportunity to take a complimentary photo with him.
