OMSI After Dark

Looking for something fun and scientific to do at night. On the fourth Wednesday of every month, OMSI puts on a special program - OMSI After Dark.

Here's your chance to shoot off water rockets, concoct chemical creations, and enjoy the wonders of OMSI with no kids in sight! Enjoy a glass of wine while learning about robots, tornados, or fossils. Have a pint of local beer while exploring the exhibits. Talk to a baker about the science behind bread, or taste the complexity of coffee.

OMSI After Dark is an opportunity for the 21-and-over crowd to explore the museum in a child-free environment. Visitors will also be able to taste and learn the science behind food and beverage favorites with local artisans. The OMSI Market Cafe will be open and cash bars will also be available for those who want more than just a taste!

Special features for Wednesday, February 25:

See Leonardo da Vinci's genius come to life! In our featured exhibit Da Vinci: The Genius, you can enjoy two floors of interactive reproductions of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions and 3D plasma presentations of his paintings. Highlights include Secrets of Mona Lisa Gallery, which features findings about the world's most famous painting that have startled the art world.

Talk to local food and beverage companies about the science behind their products and sample their tasty treats! Companies joining us in February will include: Caffe Vita Coffe Roasting Co., Cupcake Jones, Dave's Killer Bread, Hot Lips Soda, Missionary Chocolates, and Picklopolis.
