Thursday Evenings Mix Cocktails, Conversation, and Adult-Oriented Programming on Science and the Arts
Thursdays, April 2, 9, 16, & 23 2009, Open until 9:30pm
A Preview of New Thursday Evening Hours to Begin Permanently in October 2009

This April, find out what’s happening After Dark at the Exploratorium. New extended Thursday evening hours mix cocktails, conversation, and adult-oriented programming on science and the arts. Along with adult amenities such as music and a cash bar, each night will showcase a different theme: live performance, films, unexpected extravaganzas, and new media and one night of Science After Dark -- the science behind topics of adult interest, such as gambling, alcohol, fashion, sex, extreme sports, and gaming. Programs will be playful, unusual, content-rich, and often involve cutting-edge technology. Not a theater, not a cabaret, not a gallery—but involving aspects of all three—After Dark has a mood unlike anywhere else in the city. Where else can you find an intellectually stimulating playground for adults—with free parking? This event is included in the price of admission. To be included in the Exploratorium After Dark email list, contact: afterdark@exploratorium.edu. An example of April’s evening
offerings is the Science After Dark night on April 16 with the theme Sideshow Science, a
playful reframing of wondrous phenomena found inside the museum. For one night only, the Exploratorium transforms into a carnival of amazing animal acts, astounding forces of nature, mysterious mind reading, and thrilling games of skill and chance! Within these walls lurk some of the most astonishing phenomena found in Nature—the biggest freak show of all.
