The venue coordinator provided my group of children an impromptu tour. I love all things outdoors and our children in care enjoyed playing in the playground. We enjoyed walking and discovering items on our scavenger hunt. It had me thinking what a beautiful venue for an upcoming wedding we are planning. It’s a spacious piece of the great outdoors tucked inside the city!

The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History was an absolute pleasure to work with as an event venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was organized and polite. The venue was absolutely beautiful and unique, with an easy to navigate layout that made the event great for guests. They made it a breeze to load in and out, and the on-site food vendor was amazing. Loved that the venue featured a huge dinosaur in the middle of the space! I highly recommend the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History as a venue.
