Nature on Tap: Critters of the Night
Kick off Spooky Season by becoming one with the darkness at this 21+ after-hours event! Meet and greet the Museum’s resident snakes, turtles, and other assorted critters. Plus enjoy all of the Museum’s exhibits—including the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven, Water Babies art installation, and our Sustainability Center—all while refreshing yourself with tasty snacks and great drinks!
This adults-only night at the museum will feature spine-tingling invertebrates*, chilling exothermic entities**, and all manner of lurking nocturnal critters. There might even be one right outside your window tonight. Do you hear them? The critters of the night!
Ticket price includes one drink and access to all of the Museum’s exhibits. Additional snacks and drinks available for purchase. Cash and cards accepted. Refreshments include a selection of nonalcoholic drinks, beer, wine, hard seltzers, and ciders.
*Invertebrates don’t have spines. **Exothermic animals are cold blooded.
