Discovery After Dark, a 21+ party | July 23

Escape to island time at Discovery Museum!

Trade your to-do list for an island getaway to Discovery Museum! Grab your favorite beach pals and drift into a grown-ups-only evening full of vacation-worthy delights!

From the moment you make landfall, the tropical tunes of PanNeuban Steel will provide the soundtrack to your island exploration. Enjoy games and a refreshing drink on our outdoor lawn, say hello to the Program Pirates for some special summer activities, or test your survival skills in the Discovery Woods. 

Hungry from partying in paradise? Just head inside for a delicious dinner from Big Pig BBQ! Once indoors, enjoy full after-hours access to Discovery Museum’s most popular exhibits: make some waves in the Water Gallery, feel the breeze on your skin in the Air Maze, or visit da Vinci Workshop to prove, once and for all, that you’d know exactly what to do in a castaway situation.

Whether you’re here to shell-ebrate, ride the wave of nostalgia, or just avoid being marooned at home on a weeknight, this is your chance to kick back, play more, and coast into summer with us at this annual night of fun!

Attendees MUST be 21+ years of age.
