After Dark: See for Yourself

After Dark: See for Yourself
Thursday, August 25, 2022 • 6:00-10:00 p.m. PT

Adults Only (18+)

Note: Free for members and donors-only a membership card and ID required for entry. The Tactile Dome is currently closed.

The Exploratorium is your playground after dark! Wander the galleries, sip a cocktail, and let a DJ from Hip Hop for Change set the vibe. Bid farewell to our Art of Tinkering exhibition, closing September 5. You'll find artworks, contraptions, and exhibits that will make you see familiar materials in new ways-and keep you tinkering all night.

Cell Phone Miniscope
6:00-10:00 p.m.
Crossroads

We invite you to open your eyes to the amazing world of the ultra-tiny! Be sure to grab a miniscope kit and directions-then convert your cell phone into a portable, picture-taking miniscope using a simple plastic lens from a laser pointer. Use it to see the Exploratorium at its smallest scale, then take it home to continue exploring new environments!

6:30-7:45 and 8:15-9:30 p.m.
