Accessibility
Our space is designed to be accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
No Catering Limitations
We have a number of caterers we recommend and are familiar with our facility, but if you have someone specific in mind that isn’t already “on our list,” all we ask is that they don’t use styrofoam and consider ways to be eco-friendly (after all, our building is one of the most sustainable in the world!). Beer and wine is permitted.
Our Amazing Space
Our building — one of the most sustainable in the world — brings the best of the outdoors in with an abundance of natural light, beautiful wood and stone elements, and a stunning water feature in our exhibit hall. In addition to the natural beauty of the space, your guests can enjoy various exhibits including the interactive watershed table, the all-glass bird viewing room, and the touchscreen energy portal that demonstrates the efficiency of the building.
Nestled between prairie and a backdrop of woodlands, the outdoor space features a large string-lit patio, wetland deck, outdoor classroom where children can play, and woodland amphitheater.
