With stunning views of the Congaree Vista and Gervais Street, the Planetarium Lobby at the State Museum is a popular space for weddings, evening receptions, and parties. Lights shine from the floor to ceiling on the glass walls that enclose the planetarium making for a unique and modern atmosphere. A ground floor outdoor terrace connects to the Planetarium Lobby entrance allowing your guests to have a breath of fresh air.
For larger events, try combining this space with museum's Main Lobby and/or Mezzanine.
