Parents' Night Out
Pacific Science Center now offers a series of Parents' Night Out events throughout the school year. Spend a night out (or in!) while your child enjoys private, after-hours exploration of our exhibit halls, as well as an IMAX film, planetarium presentation or laser light show. Your child will enjoy a build-your-own nacho bar for dinner and a light snack later in the evening.
Participants will be supervised in age groups by our outstanding and experienced staff all evening. When you come back for pick-up, be prepared for enthusiastic stories about the evening's activities.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PARENTS' NIGHT OUT EVENTS.
Register early. This program sells out!
Here's what we have planned:
April 21, 2012 - Our theme this month is "Bubble Bash." We will start with a very exciting Bubbles live science show! We will also experiment with giant bubbles, create a crystal ball bubble using dry ice, and will explore what happens when you combine bubbles and a van de graaf generator!
Saturday, May 12: Splash of Color
Join us for a thrilling night of "Splash of Color." Tonight we will combine Art and Science for a dazzling and colourful evening! Watch the Monster Sound live science show, create your own stained glass and take home your very own ring dye or screen print t-shirt!
Friday, June 1: Invention Convention
Come join us for a Science Center "Invention Convention". We will spend the evening in an inventor's workshop, attending a laser show and visiting the exhibits. We'll learn about the science of mechanics and aerodynamics and put our new skills to work designing and creating our own toys! We'll also invent a delicious treat with a little liquid nitrogen and a lot of imagination!
Saturday, July 21: Pirates of the Pacific (Science Center)
Ahoy Mateys! Come see the world as only a Science Center pirate can- eye patch and all. Explore the stars as pirates in the Sky Tonight Planetarium show. Create your own map and navigate your way through the exhibit halls to find buried treasure. You and your crew will make liquid nitrogen ice cream fit for a captain.
Saturday, August 18: Diggin' Dinos
Do you Dig Dinos? Join us for a night of big explosions and even bigger dinosaurs. We will see the Danger Science live science show and watch water blast sky-high. Become an archaeologist as we dig for dinosaurs and explore fossils. Walk among our very own dinosaurs in the exhibits and sink your teeth into a bowl of liquid nitrogen ice cream.
