Our Venue

Situated on the ocean’s edge in historic Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH, Seacoast Science Center provides a unique and memorable setting for your celebration of a lifetime. From the formal banquet of your dreams, to the fun of a lobster bake by the sea, our venue becomes yours on your special day.

We can accommodate up to 150 guests under the 40′ x 90′ function tent, located in the most private part of the park. Surrounded by lawn, woods and 600′ of ocean front, the view includes lighthouses, the Piscataqua River, and the Isles of Shoals. The beautiful rocky coast is the perfect backdrop for your photographs and is sure to take your breath away.

*Notice Regarding Potential Future Construction

Seacoast Science Center is currently in the early planning stages of a potential capital campaign that may include facility enhancements and construction. While no definitive timeline has been established, groundbreaking could occur as early as spring 2027 or 2028.

Should the project move forward, construction would be limited to the rear portion of the existing building and thoughtfully screened to maintain an attractive and welcoming setting. The oceanside façade, function tent space, and the Center’s breathtaking ocean views would remain entirely unaffected. The building itself would continue to be available for weddings and special events.

We are committed to keeping all rental clients informed as plans and timelines become more clearly defined, and will provide updates as they become available.

CLOSING EARLY: THURSDAY, May 22, 2025. Due to anticipated high winds, we will be closing at 3pm today, to prioritize the safety of visitors, volunteers & staff. Stay safe.

Update: Tuesday, July 7, 2026

Planning to visit today?

It’s a good idea to reserve online, especially with rain forecasted, as rainy summer days often find us at capacity, particularly in the morning, with walk-ins depending on availability. Book tickets here
