The upper and lower outdoor decks of the At Play on the Bay exhibit building at the end of Navy Point offers the best panoramic views of the Miles River. These elegant outdoor waterfront venues are perfect for cocktail receptions with a guest list of 150. The number of guests can be considerably expanded to 400 by erecting a tent adjacent to the exhibit building.

The historic Hooper Strait Lighthouse can be used as a cocktail hour location, wine tasting venue or dinner spot for a small intimate gathering of business associates or clients during weekdays.
