Celebrate the opening of Survival of the Slowest with an after-hours look at animal adaptations!
Our next Science After Dark will explore speed, ranging from the supersonic to the super slow. Looking at daily life, the animal kingdom and even outer space, you’ll find fast and slow wherever you go.
Admission:
Science After Dark admission is $19 for adults, $16 for youth (ages 6–12) and seniors (ages 60 and older) and $11 for preschool-aged children (ages 3–5). Science After Dark admission is free for Science Museum members, children under 2 and college students with a valid ID. Survival of the Slowest admission is included for members, but tickets to the exhibition will need to be added to your cart after adding Science After Dark admission. Non-members will need to purchase admission to Survival of the Slowest onsite the night of the event for $5 per person.
Live astronomy shows in The Dome are free and included with Science After Dark admission and will take place at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Shows are approximately 30 minutes in length. Please note: there are no assigned seats in The Dome. Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests may sit wherever they like.
