Private cellular-biology lab events
Celebrate among microscopes and visible DNA
The Health Museum
The DeBakey Cell Lab is explicitly available for private events, with options such as viewing cheek cells and extracting wheat-germ DNA. The museum separately welcomes weddings and receptions, allowing a science-minded couple to inquire about a lab component rather than just hiring an ordinary room.
Current location note / listed area: Houston, Texas; additional locations by inquiry only
Lab inclusion in a wedding requires a separate confirmed arrangement. Participants must be at least seven, with age-specific experiments and supervision rules; protective equipment is required and food, drinks and experiment filming are prohibited. The museum discourages pregnant guests from entering because of live bacteria. Confirm suitability, capacity and staffing directly.
