Way Late Play Date: Camp Fear

Loading Events

Friday, August 7 | 7 - 10 pm | 21+

You already know the feeling.

The branch that snaps behind you on a dark trail. The fire that's still warm when no one should be there. The part of your brain that says leave before you know why.

Camp Fear isn't about monsters.
It's about that.

-- 

Way Late Play Date: Camp Fear is a 21+ after-hours experience built around the science, psychology, and strange poetry of fear itself. Wander through interactive activities. Sit with unsettling questions. Let the biology of dread work on you a little.

This is not a haunted house. Nothing will jump out at you.
Something might stay with you, though.

Face Your Fears

Friday, August 7 | 7 - 10 pm | 21+

What was that noise outside the cabin?

Wander through Adventure Science Center after hours as you investigate mysterious camp stories, uncover the psychology of what makes us scream, and discover how biology, forensics, and perception shape our fears.

Costumes are welcome and encouraged. Just leave the chainsaws at home.

What's waiting:
  • Interactive science experiences to tackle your biggest fears
  • Forensics, psychology, and biology with a dark twist
  • Photo ops
  • Planetarium shows and science talks
  • Exclusive after-hours access to exhibits
  • Camp-themed games, challenges, and activities
Food & Drink

Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the evening.
