NightLife celebrates the best of the Academy with an evening of after hours science inside the greenest museum on the planet.
Enjoy nighttime dive shows in our Philippine Coral Reef tank, learn about Claude the albino alligator during a special Swamp Talk, then prepare to be transported during a special Planetarium show about weather phenomena in space.
Plus put your worldly knowledge to the test with three rounds of science-inspired trivia from Brainstormer.
For more insider info, experience the museum through the eyes of the people who know it best: The Academy staff will share their personal can't-miss favorites during pop-up talks throughout the museum.
