Science experiments, immersive visuals and Halloween-themed activities take over Frost Science after dark for an adults-only evening of museum exploration.

The event is open to guests ages 21 and older.
Programming includes screenings of Dark Universe, narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, along with an immersive presentation of Danny Daze’s ::BLUE:: in the Frost Planetarium. Presented as part of the III Points Satellite program, the 33-minute audiovisual work combines electronic music, sound design and projected imagery inspired by Earth and the environmental questions surrounding its future.
Throughout the museum, visitors can encounter activities and installations from organizations including Miami Animation & Gaming International Complex, Superblue Miami, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and Surfrider Miami. A Weird Science costume contest rounds out the evening, with participants competing for a Frost Science Crew Membership.
