Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Your wedding will be an adventure. Host your reception in one of their beautiful spaces, and your guests will have the unforgettable experience of celebrating among elephants and dinosaurs and exploring fascinating exhibitions.
- Dine under the largest dinosaur ever discovered! Unveiled in 2018 in Stanley Field Hall, the 122-foot-long, two-story tall titanosaur makes any event one-of-a-kind, but it's also flanked by life-size replicas of giant flying reptiles.
- The Northeast Terrace offers a spectacular view of the Loop and the sweeping waters of Lake Michigan. It's a wonderful spot for al fresco ceremonies at golden hour, or invite guests to enjoy the view while mingling over specialty cocktails that have been custom-crafted for your nuptials.
