Facility Usage Opportunities

The Spanish Plaza, Chapel and Boardroom of the South Florida Museum may, subject to certain guidelines and restrictions, be made available for private events. For information on scheduling and rental rates, please contact 941-746-4131, extension 17.
The South Florida Museum has a unique combination of aesthetic and practical amenities, sure to make any event a memorable occasion...whether it is a corporate meeting, black tie affair, wedding, class reunion or reception. The dramatic architecture of the Spanish Plaza revisits the elegance of another time, with picturesque columns and arches, ornate wrought-iron gates, chandeliers and lampposts, and an authentic fountain with an equestrian statue of Hernando De Soto. Adjacent to the open-air plaza, the covered promenade and its viewing windows offer a panoramic, yet intimate, look at the manatees-in-residence. For an additional fee, extend events into our replica of a 16th-century Chapel, complete with sunset-hued marble flooring and stained glass windows. Finally, alone or in conjunction with the Plaza, guests receive "VIP" treatment in the air-conditioned Boardroom with its private, underwater view of the Parker Manatee Aquarium.

The newly rebuilt Bishop Planetarium and lobby may be made available for private events, as well.
