Grown-Ups Night Out

Save to Favorites

We are in need of 8-10 volunteers (18 and older) for our Grown-Ups Night Out Event on September 29 from 6:15 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. We need volunteers to help check guests in, pass out swag bags, and lead some of the amazing activities we have planned.

Dessert Before Dinner at the Museum

Ever wanted to play at the children's museum without children? Our inaugural Grown-ups' Night Out event is going to inspire you to be a kid again. From drawing on the walls to jumping on the furniture, we’ve got adventures for the kid inside each of our visitors. Each of our Grown-ups' Night Out events will focus on breaking at least one rule you had as a child.

Play with Your Food
Saturday, September 29, 2018 | 7-10 p.m.

• Marshmallow Slingshots - Put your food flinging skills honed in childhood into action. Select marshmallows of different sizes and try to strike various targets. Just don't put an eye out!
• Ceramic Dinnerware Glazing - Ever come to the Museum and wish your child would sit still long enough for you to glaze a ceramic piece? Well, now no one will be tugging on your arm to leave. Savor a drink as you glaze dinner or drinkware, and return in a couple of weeks to retrieve your masterpiece.
• Candy Gambling - A delightful mash-up of two favorite vices: candy and cards. Test your luck at the Museum casino tables, and trade in your chips for candy.
• Veggie Race Cars - This game is guaranteed to appeal to soapbox derby enthusiasts and the child in us all! Soup up your aerodynamic fruit or veggie with wheels and bling, and set it to race full speed down our ramp. Perhaps you'll become our Rookie of the Year!
• Condiment Art - Ever get chastised as a child for painting on walls, using Sharpie on a table, or doodling on an important document? Channel any unresolved frustration by squeezing paint from ketchup and mustard bottles on enormous canvases, collaborating with your friends on one-of-a-kind pieces of condiment art.
