Plan an Event

The Virginia Living Museum is the perfect choice for receptions, corporate parties, banquets and celebrations of all kinds for up to 500 people. You can start your event on the outdoor deck overlooking Deer Park Lake and dance the night away on two levels inside. You could even have a cocktail party on the rooftop patio and look at the stars through the telescope. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres around the spiral staircase or a sit-down meal for 200. Whatever you need, we will be happy to host your event.

Looking for something unique to do for your child's birthday? If so, bring your party to the Virginia Living Museum for a fun and exciting celebration.
