Explora Adult Night debuted in November 2004 when young professionals, parents, college students, and singles let us know that they wanted a night at Explora without the kids. We listened to their request and created a night when adults can experiment with new activities, explore exhibits, enjoy live entertainment and view the night sky with local astronomers from The Albuquerque Astronomy Society.
Each Adult Night features a special theme with related activities, ranging from theater performances to hands-on experiments with surprising materials.
Bring a friend, bring a date, bring a group—and enjoy Explora.
Adult Nights take place on the third Friday of January, March, May, July, September, and November from 6:30 - 10:00 pm.
