A great party, delicious bites and drinks, and a twist of science! Liberty Science Center presents LSC After Dark, exclusively for guests 18 and up on special Thursday nights from 6:00 - 10:00 pm. Each event features a fun theme with a menu to match, dance floor, live DJ, a full bar (for guests 21+) and planetarium and laser shows. And all of the museum's exhibits are open, too!

(Please note: Guests must show photo ID upon entrance and when ordering at our bars. We have festive mocktails and more for those under 21!)
