Science After Hours: Adult Night at the Museum

Remember the best parts of a school field trip to the museum? A day away from text books, the school bus gossip, separating off into groups and checking out the gift shop?

Come relive those nostalgic memories at the Buffalo Museum of Science! Only, this time kids stay at home because the museum is just for adults, there are no chaperones (but bring Becky’s mom if she wants to come!), AND there’s a cash bar!

Wander the museum at your own pace with drink in hand and drop by hands‑on stations that will surely rekindle your childhood curiosity:

• Dragon’s Breath: liquid‑nitrogen snacks that fog and crunch
• LEGO Parachute Drops: test your engineering ego
• K’NEX Sail‑Car Races: build, tweak, and race for bragging rights
• Van de Graaff Demos: hair‑raising static electricity experiments
• Alka‑Seltzer Rockets: tiny launches with big fun
• Flame‑Color Chemistry: discover how chemicals change a flame’s color
• Glitter Tattoos: satisfy your inner troublemaker with a rebellious souvenir (c’mon Becky, your mom will never know!)
• Stanley’s Science Shop: don’t relive the trauma of forgetting your gift shop money! We won’t judge, but our dinosaurs might.
• Solder an LED pin: wear your nerd pride all night (optional, $10)

So, grab your tickets, dust off your curiosity, and join us for a field trip where your 21+ ID serves as your permission slip. Bring a date, a crew of friends, or your most competitive coworkers for an evening of hands‑on science with a grown‑up twist and a lively social vibe!
