Party at the Museum

What better way to celebrate the New Year than hosting your next event at the beautiful Congaree Vista area with the South Carolina State Museum? You can rent out the museum for an event of 50 people, or even 1,000. Book parts of the museum for a conference, a reception, or anything in between.

You can explore the exhibits, take in an evening viewing in the observatory and jam out to live music on select Tuesdays.

In addition to interactive exhibits perfect for young ones, the museum offers an impressive lineup of children’s programs, including sleepover experiences. You can also host your tike’s next birthday party at the SCSM for a 4D whirlwind experience, far-out adventures in science and space, and more. Who knows—you might have a little fun, too.
