Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set on five acres along a Mississippi River inlet, this nature-focused community center in Myrick Park spans five acres of unspoiled watershed ecosystem, along with interactive experiences and unique indoor and outdoor gathering spaces.
- In addition to its meadows, marshland, trails, and bluffs, the property features a stunning contemporary building with a soaring atrium and floor-to-ceiling window walls that allow all-season views of the park. You may choose to rent one room, or the entire facility for a large celebration.
- You’ll be supporting the Nature Place’s awesome environmental education programs, day camps, and community outreach projects with your rental fees…and you can even add on a special visit from a few of the center's resident native critters!
