The Auditorium: Ready for your business meeting, presentation  or seminar- a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art facility to seat 300.

Rotunda and Gallery: A circular bi-level rotunda with floor-to-ceiling  windows featuring a mechanical Rotosphere and futuristic technology  gallery with Internet capabilities. The perfect setting to  have cocktails for 300 or dinner for 200.


Great Hall:
This centerpiece room evokes the deep blue intensity  of outer space and provides a dramatic event backdrop. The  truly unique 7,000-square-foot columnless space holds up to 350  for dinner and 450 for cocktails.

Please Note: Great Hall under renovations. Reopening 2012.

Exhibition Hall: Featuring over 200 hands-on exhibits. A unique event  backdrop for up to 1,000 for cocktails.

Dining Area: Floor-to-ceiling windows accommodating 300 with  a view of the Science Playground. Ideal for seated breakfasts,  luncheons, dinners and cocktail receptions.

Our Rocket Park is a signature 5,000-square-foot exhibition on the grounds of the Hall. This outdoor space is perfect for a cocktail hour for up to 150 people. The two newly refurbished rockets create an outrageous backdrop for any outdoor event.

 
The North Wing: The new North Wing allows for both you and your guests to truly have the museum to yourselves for the night. Good for a cocktail hour and/or passed hor'derves, watch as your guests, both big and small, enjoy the freedom to explore innovative hands on exhibits.
 
The Viscusi Gallery: This brand new 4000-square-foot gallery space seats up to 225 with a spacious dance floor. Surrounded by ever-changing art, this empty, oval-shaped room is your personal canvass. (A wonderful venue option for your bar/bat mitzvah, wedding reception or corporate event.)
