Bring Out Your Inner Child

We had our company holiday party at the DE Museum of Nature and Science. From the time I first met with Heather to discuss having our party there, to the night of the event itself, every detail was taken care of and the level of customer service was top notch.
We had such a fun time wandering through the exhibits, dancing among the trees of the Delaware exhibit, and watching a live bird demonstration. It was so much fun to watch grown adults relive their childhood in the children's interactive exhibit.
If you are considering the DMNS for your next event, I highly recommend it - you will not be disappointed!

Stroud Water Research Center hosted their fundraising event at the Museum in November, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating! The space itself is spectacular, and served as a perfect setting for the cocktail reception. Heather and her team were helpful with recommending contacts for valets, tents, and other event needs (like emergency locations to purchase additional wine!!), and were happy to work with our chosen vendors as well! Having done many events at various locations, I would highly recommend the Museum of Nature and Science! Their attention to detail and willingness to help you succeed is unparalleled.
