Museum Nights: Summer Camp
21+ event
Thursday, June 12 | 6-10 p.m.
Kids won’t be around to play — but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t! We’re a museum for all with a mission for all: for everyone to see themselves in science, and that includes adults!
The latest in our adults-only series is an ode to our favorite pastime — the discoveries unearthed and memories made at summer camp! Join us for a night of nostalgia at the museum – with a drink in hand!
This event is the kickoff for this season in Our Backyard, the museum’s interactive outdoor exhibit. Head to our riverside park for shaded seating, splashy activities, and stunning views of the Mississippi River. Located on Level 1; subject to closure for inclement weather.
