After Hours at Adventure Science Center
Every few months, Adventure Science Center opens its doors after dark to host unique fundraising events that combine science, pop culture, unique challenges, and adventure for all to spark your curiosity and encourage lifelong learning. Our Way Late Play Date, Science of Beer, and Science of Spirits events all make for a perfect group outing with friends, co-workers, or school peers, a date night with someone special, or a bonding adventure with your siblings or adult children.
PLUS, our exhibits are specifically designed for all ages to unlock their inner child through interactive play!
WAY LATE PLAY DATES
From using forensic science to solve a crime to concocting magical potions with chemistry, no two events are the same. Tickets to these themed events include shows in the Sudekum Planetarium, interactive science demonstrations, community partner activities, and so much more. Cash bars and food trucks are available on-site to complete the night.
For anyone seeking a unique night of adventure, interested in exploring science in a fun way, or supporting a community institution dedicated to making science learning accessible for all, these events are a Nashville 'must do.'
