Adult Nights: Tales of Woe

An adults-only evening at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, this October event invites guests 21 and up to explore the darker side of science. The museum takes on a gothic atmosphere as you move through interactive science stations, discover the scientific explanations behind common fears, and test your knowledge of cursed literature. Live music, games, and entertainment from local performers keep the night entertaining, while the museum's evening hours offer a unique way to experience the space after dark. Tickets are $25 per person, or $15 for museum members. Beverages and food are available for purchase, including beer, wine, and themed cocktails. Costumes are encouraged to add to the spooky spirit of the evening, though they're optional. The museum asks that any masks or face-covering costume elements be removed during check-in, and costumes should not resemble weapons or contain offensive elements. This is a chance to experience the museum's uncensored, adult-oriented programming in a fun, atmospheric setting.
