Science After Dark - Chemistry Uncorked!

MOSI is hosting Science After Dark: Chemistry Uncorked! on Thursday, November 5, from 6 to 9 PM. It's an adults-only evening, so you can wander the museum after hours without the kids around—just you and your friends with a drink in hand.

The night is built around chemistry, and that means getting your hands dirty. You can try a variety of food and drink samples throughout the evening, and there's a station where you make your own liquid nitrogen ice cream—a sweet treat that lets you see the science in action while you're making it. Beyond that, there's a range of hands-on experiments to work through, from testing new technologies to mixing your own chemical reactions.

Once you've had your fill of the floor, the evening moves into the Saunders Planetarium for an immersive show. It's a good way to cap off the night: you spend a few hours doing the active, messy part of the evening and then settle in for the show.

For a bit of context on where you'll be, MOSI sits at the intersection of science, technology and innovation in the Tampa Bay region. It's a hands-on center where you can explore space science, weather, engineering, physics and the human body. This particular night just puts the focus on the chemistry side of things.

Tickets are $40, and the whole thing runs from 6 to 9 PM on Thursday, November 5, at the Museum of Science and Industry, 4801 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33617.
