For 21+ Only
The Museum
Coming Soon

A night at the museum for fae folk 21+

21+ Only | A valid government-issued ID is required for entry for all attendees

OMSI has a history of hosting Renaissance faires dating back to the late 1980s, and this is our way of giving a nod to that history while still keeping it sciency and in line with the OMSI After Dark oeuvre. Dressing up is highly encouraged, but you can still live the fantasy in a pair of sweats!

Unfamiliar with the event? OMSI After Dark is for guests 21 and over, where you can have a drink and wander the exhibits after hours. Interact with hands-on science experiments, live performances, local educational groups, lectures, food and beverage samplers, and more. Each event has a different theme, which means a new set of people and entertainment to engage with each month!
