Strolling Receptions
For large events 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. Try an exhibition station like the Pasta Toss or the Crepe Station where delights are freshly prepared by uniformed chefs. 

Buffets and Plated (Seated) Entrees
With both buffets and seated dinners you have various options like Colorado favorites such as Beef Tenderloin or Rainbow Trout.  Or build your own buffet by selecting all your menu items.

Desserts
Crème Caramel, Blueberry Peach Crumble or even our signature Chocolate Religion.  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 & 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.
