Amplify your bedtime routine when you stop by our workshops where you’ll get to make your own dreamcatcher and face mask! At the “Scentsation Station,” you’ll also learn about aromatherapy and its relaxing benefits while making your own essential oils to take home.

11) Challenge: Can you do it in the dark?
Speaking of condoms…stop by our Condom Lab, which is always one of LSC After Dark’s most popular February experiences! Join our staff member Dorothy, who has a background in sex education, for a game of “Can You Do It In the Dark?”
In this game, you’ll get blindfolded, seek out a phallic-shaped vegetable, and put a condom on the vegetable while racing against another player. Don’t miss it!

Our newest exhibition is Wild Kratts: Creature Power! In this interactive adventure, you’ll learn all about wild animals and their “creature powers.”
