Facilities and Capacity

When it comes to your wedding ceremony at this museum, you're spoilt for choice. For larger gatherings, the amphitheater is a cracking setting. Just as they were designed thousands of years ago, every guest will get a good view of you and your partner as you beautifully exchange vows. More quaint ceremonies can take place in front of the dramatic waterfall located in the gardens. This is great for those who love the great outdoors and want to implement naturalistic elements to their big moment. Once you've tied the knot, you and your loved ones can gather on the rooftop observatory for a cocktail hour to remember.

The observatory allows you to mingle with friends, sip on beverages, and watch as the sun sets over the horizon. Outdoor receptions can take place in the courtyard or inside one of the museum's large event halls. Whichever you choose, both locations have ample room for seated guests, a dance floor, and live entertainment. If you want to add an extra sense of wonderment to your wedding, the museum's staff can organize guided tours to observe the wildlife.
