Mid-America Museum

The Mid-America Science Museum is a hands-on science center set on 21 wooded acres in Hot Springs, Arkansas, near Hot Springs National Park and the Ouachita National Forest. The 73,500-square-foot facility houses more than 100 interactive exhibits spanning physics, biology, geology, space science, and engineering — with both indoor and outdoor experiences across its expansive campus. The museum's event rental program welcomes a wide range of private gatherings, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate parties, family reunions, and business retreats. Guests can make use of distinctive spaces such as the Tesla Theater, the Oaklawn Foundation Digital Dome Theater, and the Bob Wheeler Science Skywalk, offering a setting unlike any traditional event venue. The facility is fully accessible, with ramps and elevators available throughout, and the events team works with clients to tailor each occasion to their needs. Operating as a nonprofit educational institution, the Mid-America Science Museum is dedicated to promoting public understanding of science through exploration, play, and community engagement.
