Exploratorium After Dark: Themed Adults-Only Night

San Francisco’s Exploratorium is hosting its next adults-only After Dark night on Thursday, April 23, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (exploratorium.edu) This week’s program is called “Climate Journeys,” and the museum says it will include creative ways to navigate climate change and a preview of new exhibits on local ecosystems. (exploratorium.edu) After Dark is a weekly Thursday event for visitors 18 and older at the Exploratorium on Pier 15 along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. The museum says the series mixes themed programming with access to its regular galleries and hands-on exhibits. (exploratorium.edu, exploratorium.edu) The Exploratorium describes the series as an evening of cocktails, conversation, and science-and-art programming, with each night built around a different topic. The museum’s After Dark materials say the events include a cash bar and hundreds of interactive exhibits. (exploratorium.edu) Third-party ticket listings say Thursday-night admission covers more than 650 exhibits, with guest speakers, music, specialty films, and one-off activities depending on the theme. Those listings also note that food and drinks are sold separately and the Tactile Dome requires a separate reservation. (tiqets.com, feverup.com) The event has become one of the museum’s regular nighttime offerings, pitched as a date-night or group outing without children in the galleries. San Francisco Travel highlights the Pier 15 setting, including bay and skyline views from the waterfront site.

Tickets and event details are listed through the Exploratorium’s calendar, with additional roundup coverage from Secret San Francisco. (exploratorium.edu, secretsanfrancisco.com)
