Back by popular demand! Join us for 2nd ThursdaysTFI, extended hours exclusively for our 18+ adult audience! Dive into hands-on experiences, play, and explore all with a drink in hand as you relive your childhood museum visits, as an adult.
- Play Like a Kid — No Kids Required: Go ahead, press all the buttons and turn every gear — you’ll have full access to the museum’s hands-on exhibits. No need to share with the little ones!
- Experience a Big Bang: Science is fun (especially when things explode). Our Under Pressure Live Science show brings the heat — with liquid nitrogen, fire, and giant reactions that'll blow your mind.
- Sip & Stare: Need a breather? Head to the rooftop for epic skyline views, chill vibes, and a cocktail in hand. Science + sunsets = perfect combo.
- Stargaze & Space Out: Kick back in the Fels Planetarium for The Sky Tonight show, or catch one of our Dome Unknown test screenings — a sneak peek of what’s coming to the Planetarium next.
- Playground Mode: Unleash your inner kid in Science Park — climb, explore, and let loose like it’s recess all over again.
- Fuel Up: Whether you’re craving a cocktail or a snack, grab delicious eats and drinks (yes, there’s alcohol) at the bars or in The Eatery.
- Sketch the Unexpected: Now's your time to draw what sparks your imagination. BYO sketchbook (18x24 max), graphite or colored pencils only. Need a seat? Stools are free at ticketing!
Plus! Add BODY WORLDS: Vital to your evening (+$15).
Our experiences are always evolving — round up your crew, revisit your favorite exhibits, and discover what’s new.
