Have you ever wanted to roam the Adventure Science Center after hours? Here’s how you can.

This winter, the science center will stay open late (4:30-8 p.m.) for guests 18 years and older on the third Thursday of the month — Jan. 18, Feb. 15, and March 21.

Ready to embrace your inner kid? If you’re up for a challenge, check out the Kinetic Climber or take a spin in the motion simulator. If that’s not your speed, kick back and relax in the Sudekum Planetarium. In addition to the exhibits and interactive elements included in admission, the following areas will be open to explore:

  • Infinium Room
  • I2 Makerspace
  • Tinkering Garage
  • Live science shows

Check out the schedule for Jan. 18 and stay tuned for future announcements.
