Mission Trails Visitor Center

We did an event this past weekend at the Mission Trails Visitor Center.  The event was a fundraiser, and they served barbecue.  As a family we've been to Mission Trails countless times and the visitors' center several times, but I'd never been to event there before.   Apparently it's only recently that they've started encouraging people to have events there.  It doesn't take much encouraging when you see the place.

The great deck overlooking the park provides a beautiful, natural backdrop that would enhance many events.  You could fit 150+ at round tables on the deck, plus interesting nooks and crannies inside and outside the visitors' center make great places to explore, get away from crowds, or put bars, auction tables or additional seating.  The event last weekend made great use of the space: a bar was set up on the gift shop counter, the caterers set up in classrooms to stay tucked out of the way, and patio heaters allowed the guests to hang out outside while staying warm. 

Talk to Jay at Mission Trails if you're interested in putting on an event there.
