Enjoy vintage video games and cocktails at Michigan Science Center After Dark
The Michigan Science Center invites adults 21 and over to play vintage video games at its monthly happy hour, MiSci After Dark, on Jan. 21.
We got excited last month when the Michigan Science Center opened its doors one evening for After Dark, a happy hour that invited adults ages 21 and over to explore the science of mixology (“I wasn’t just out drinking, I swear. I was learning chemistry!”). Over 170 people attended.
We’re even more excited for the return of After Dark on Thursday, Jan. 21, when the Science Center will add vintage video games to its monthly happy hour. Attendees will be able to play some arcade favorites and classic console games like Duck Hunt and Super Smash Bros, all while enjoying a cash bar. It’s all in conjunction with the Science Center’s latest exhibit, Toytopia, which explores the science of play through multiple eras of games.
After Dark events take place on the third Thursday of every month. This month’s event starts at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21. Admission is $10 and includes a complimentary drink. Attendees must be 21 or over to attend.
Tickets are available here.
