Food Services

Monkey Island Café stays open during zoo hours to provide various food and beverage items to visitors. As autumn and winter approach our menu changes to provide more seasonally appropriate items, such as the always popular Hot Chocolate! If you have questions about what is currently on the menu, please call (616) 336-4326.
Monkey Island Café accepts cash, checks, and credit cards with a photo ID. If you are a John Ball Zoo Member, please remember to show your Membership Card at the time of purchase to receive your 10% discount!
All 2011 Souvenir Cups will expire at the end of this season.

ATTENTION GROUPS!
Did you know that you can pre-order lunches for the day you bring your group to the zoo?
If your group is 10 or more people, we may have some discounts available to you! Please call us at (616) 336-4326 for further information. We must have at least 7 days notice for group orders. Not all menu items are available for discount and items are subject to availability.

You can reach the Concession Department at (616) 336-4326 or concessions@johnballzoosociety.org
