Science Museum to host adults-only ‘Dino Night’
Free Press staff report | 7/24/2025, 6 p.m.
The Science Museum of Virginia is inviting adults to step back in time — about 65 million years — during its upcoming after-hours event, “Science on Tap: Dino Night,” on Thursday, July 24.
Part of the museum’s ongoing 21-and-up “Science on Tap” series, the event offers guests a chance to explore the traveling “Ultimate Dinosaurs” exhibition and enjoy themed activities inspired by prehistoric creatures. The program runs from 6 to 10 p.m., with staggered entry times at 6, 6:30 and 7 p.m.
In addition to science programming, attendees can purchase food from local food trucks and enjoy alcoholic beverages as they explore the museum without children in tow. Costumes are encouraged, though full-face coverings, including inflatable dinosaur suits, are not allowed.
Admission is $18 for museum members and $25 for non-members. Tickets are available online at smv.org, and advance purchase is recommended.
