Private Events at the San Antonio Aquarium: Rent the Aquarium for a Night

SAN ANTONIO PRIVATE EVENT VENUE

The aquarium is an excellent San Antonio private event venue: it is centrally located and there are a number of rooms to accommodate groups of varying sizes. Not to mention, the animals and sea life make a stunning backdrop for your guests to enjoy.

PRIVATE EVENTS

With 50,000 square feet of space, the aquarium can host groups of 30 to 1000+ guests. We have two spaces, which you can book for private events, or you can book the entire aquarium for the night. Whether you are having a birthday party, a family reunion, or a business meeting, your guests will never forget the day they used the aquarium for their own private party.

PREPPING YOUR PARTY

For groups larger than 1,180, we can install a fully enclosed tent outside the facility. The outdoor tent can be used for dining, entertainment, and extra seating space. For smaller parties, we have two spaces, which you can use for as your private meeting place. We have an experienced event planner who can help you coordinate your gathering. Alternatively, you can bring your own caterer or service provider based on your needs. Aquarium guides are available to take you and your guests on an aquarium tour.

Plan a Field Trip at the San Antonio Aquarium

We have three private events rooms which can be arranged for many different types of events. Whether you have an event where people would be free to roam about or your event requires specified seating, select the room that is perfect for your group. Absent a choice from you, we have the right to reserve the appropriate room for your event. If you have a request, call us, otherwise no room is guaranteed. We would love to discuss how we can accommodate you. Come in for a tour and envision the possibilities that can be yours for a unique, one-of-a-kind event!
