Date: August 14, 2025

Tickets: Early Bird $34.95 | Regular $39.95 (19+ only)
For the first time ever, Science World’s wildly popular After Dark series is heading outdoors for a summer party that blends chill vibes with electrifying experiences. From glowing dance shows to bottle rocket launches, this is your chance to unleash your inner kid while sipping wine under the stars.
What’s Happening Outside?
The Ken Spencer Science Park—a lush, 35,000 square foot outdoor gallery—will transform into a summer playground for the senses. Enjoy live sets from talented BC musicians, chat with local outdoor enthusiasts, and make your very own magnet detector (yes, that’s a thing—and yes, it’s super cool).
Watch bottle rockets blast off from the outdoor stage and grab some sunshine-friendly snacks or a limited edition milkshake from Triple O’s. Whether you’re a science geek or just in it for the summer vibes, this park party promises to spark joy.
And Then… The Sparks Fly Indoors
As the sun sets, the party moves inside—but the energy ramps up.
Expect dramatic electricity shows that will literally send sparks flying and an unforgettable performance by the Sliver Sisterz, a mesmerizing LED light dance troupe that brings glowing, futuristic fantasy to life. And don’t miss the musical Tesla coil—because yes, we made singing lightning a thing.
With access to all of Science World’s exhibits—and not a child in sight—you’re free to geek out, chill out, and play the night away.
