A Wilmington Event Venue Where Nature Meets the Skyline

DuPont Environmental Education Center is a distinctive waterfront wedding venue in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, overlooking the Christina River and the 212-acre Russell W. Peterson Urban Wildlife Refuge. With floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic marsh views, and the Wilmington skyline in the distance, this contemporary nature center offers a refreshing alternative to traditional event spaces.

It's the rare Wilmington location where city views, waterfront scenery, and the possibility of spotting a bald eagle all come with the setting.

• Fourth-Floor Event Space: Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the Christina River, freshwater tidal marsh, and Wilmington skyline. Audiovisual equipment is available for meetings and special events.
