Dinner & Evening Events
Strolling Receptions
For large numbers of people or for groups who desire a more casual atmosphere, we offer strolling receptions. More than 30 hot and cold hors d'oeuvre plates are available, served either "butler passed" or buffet style.
Buffets and Plated (Seated) Entrees
With both buffets (30 person minimum) and seated dinners (50 person minimum), you have the option of adding tasty sides like our exclusive Southwest Jicama Citrus Salad and Balsamic Blended Tomato and Gouda Salad. For entrees, the Wild Mushroom Penne and Sweet Asian Lemongrass-Glazed Swordfish are local favorites.
Desserts
Creamy cheesecake, chocolate tortes, fresh fruit, cookies and brownies. A number of decadent sweets are available for your events. We also offer four varieties of "Sweet Endings," which are part of our dessert and coffee buffets.

When you host an event at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, you'll also be contributing to the Museum's mission to attract and serve diverse audiences by promoting the study, understanding, and enjoyment of the universe, nature, science, and human cultures. As a non-profit organization, the Museum relies on evening admissions and events to help sustain our many educational and research programs.
