This summer, when the sun goes down, your IQ goes up as you experience science fun and discovery, plus a few added surprises, during late nights at Orlando Science Center.  On Fridays and Saturdays through August 11, the Science Center will host “Science After Sundown” with stargazing in the observatory, retro sci-fi movies in the Digital Adventure Theater and all exhibits open until 11 p.m.

With OSC open late, visitors will enjoy more time for exploration, inspiration and imagination. Plus, experience the Science Center with fewer crowds than the busy daytime hours. Come later in the day and stay through the evening, or just stop by after dinner for a few hours of casual brain-bolstering.

Don’t miss these awesome experiences during Science After Sundown:

• Explore all four floors of hands-on exhibits
• Catch a Laser Light Show in the Dr. Phillips CineDome
• Enjoy stellar views of the night sky in the observatory after dark (weather permitting; starting at 7 p.m.)
• Unmask your inner superhero in our summer traveling exhibit, Hall of Heroes
• Practice new skills or create something to take home in The Hive: A Makerspace Presented by The Isaacs Family
• Guests 21 and up can enjoy adult beverages available for purchase
