Science World After Dark

The glowing geodesic dome, cocktails in hand and no kids in sight: an adults-only night of hands-on science, live demos and a themed party.

The date

A few nights a season, Science World clears out the field-trip crowd and throws open its doors for a 19-plus party: cocktails, live demos, DJ or band, and every exhibit yours to play with. It turns a childhood favourite into genuinely flirty date territory. The summer edition, Sparks and Rec, spills onto the plaza with outdoor science stalls and live music; fall brings a magic night and a Halloween edition; winter has a video-game science celebration. Tickets are timed and sell out.

How to do it

Buy timed tickets ahead at scienceworld.ca, these sell out. It is 19-plus, so leave the kids at home and treat the exhibits like a grown-up playground with a drink in hand. Right on the seawall by Main Street-Science World station, easy to reach and easy to carry on somewhere after.

What to wear: casual is fine
