An evening at the museum for guests 21+
21+ Only | A valid government-issued ID is required for entry for all attendees
OMSI After Dark: Out of This World will transport guests beyond the Earth to explore the planets and stars that surround us. If Sci-Fi is your favorite movie genre and you travel the world to see the next Solar Eclipse, you’ll want to leave space on your calendar for this event. Dust off those telescopes for an evening with the stars!
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 local groups and vendors, hands-on science experiments, 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!
