A 21+ Playground Adventure
Trade the screen time for real-time play across our entire museum campus. Experience our three historic houses after hours and discover what happens when "grown-ups" take over the exhibits:
Y2K Craft Lounge: Head to our creative hubs for a heavy dose of nostalgia. We're hosting a Y2K Craft Lounge where you can make iconic bead animal keychains or design custom Shrinky Dinks featuring Tech Decks, Tamagotchis, or classic cassette tapes.
Relive the Glory Days: Rediscover your inner child as you explore all the exhibits across our historic houses. Whether you are experimenting in the Engineering Studio or visiting our fan-favorites, the entire museum is your playground.
Capture the Moment: Visit our photo booth—the perfect backdrop for a Y2K-themed photo op to document your night out.
Brews, Bites, and Beats
What’s a summer night without some local flavor?
Local Brews & Pavilion Drinks: Your ticket includes three drink tickets to enjoy at our pavilion and as you explore the Outdoor Discovery Area.
Delicious Food: No grown-up adventure is complete without delicious fuel! Your ticket includes a tasty spread of food to keep you energized to keep the good times flowing throughout the night!
The Bubble Factory: The Bubble Factory will be open for high-energy sensory fun under the summer stars.
Y2K Hits: We’ll be spinning the best tracks from the era to keep the energy high all night long.
