After Dark at The Exploratorium

Let your curiosity roam free at After Dark in person! These Thursday night programs are for Adults Only (18+).

See how our six spacious galleries have been reimagined , with thoughtful enhancements—guided by science—designed to spark your curiosity while keeping you and your loved ones safe. You’ll find a more spacious museum experience with hand-sanitizing stations throughout, masks required for all guests, and programs of wonder and delight intended for smaller groups. Grab a drink and reunite with friends in the outdoor gallery overlooking the Bay Bridge and the city skyline, and discover something new, including spaces devoted to stories of our shared human experiences from the past year.

Food and drinks will be available to purchase in our Seaglass Restaurant to enjoy there or outdoors in Gallery 5 during After Dark
