Herrett Center for Arts and Science

Herrett Center for Arts and Science offers a distinctive setting for meetings, seminars, private functions, corporate gatherings and community events in Twin Falls, Idaho. Located on the College of Southern Idaho campus, the centre combines practical event facilities with the atmosphere of a museum, planetarium and observatory.

The Rick Allen Room is the main event space, accommodating up to 200 guests depending on the chosen layout. It provides a modern, professional environment for presentations, receptions, lectures, training sessions and private celebrations, with an audio-visual system, two large projectors, dual screens and an optional stage. A private south-facing patio and views across the campus add further flexibility for guest breaks, informal networking or outdoor elements.

Organisers can also enquire about using the museum galleries for smaller gatherings or as an atmospheric extension to a larger event. The galleries display natural history, anthropology, archaeology and art collections, giving receptions and educational programmes an engaging backdrop. The Centennial Observatory offers an especially memorable option for groups interested in astronomy, with daytime or evening sky-viewing opportunities subject to weather and staffing availability.

The venue is particularly suitable for educational programmes, business meetings, lectures, seminars, cultural gatherings and private functions that benefit from an unusual setting. Availability is managed around the centre’s public programming and the protection of its collections and specialist equipment. Event organisers can contact the centre for current rental rates, availability, room configurations and booking requirements.
