Rent a Space

We are excited to offer a place for families to host gatherings such as birthday parties for kids, friends and families. We also offer rental of our large Gathering Hall to organizations and groups for other events.

There is a base rental price for the space, and then optional add-ons for museum programming to be available during the party. All rentals include parking in the museum parking lot and use of the restroom facilities on site.

If you would like to book a rental with us please call us at
