Adult Night, February 29th - This popular event is back, and will now become a scheduled monthly event!

Adult Night
The Discovery Center has taken a page from the successful playbooks of OMSI in Portland, and the Exploratorium in San Francisco by offering adults in our community a chance to relax and mingle in the fun and interesting environment here at DCI. From 6PM to 10PM on Wednesday, February 29th, we are opening our doors to adults only (yes, you will be carded) for refreshments (beer, wine, soda and food! Read on) as well as some fascinating demonstrations. The admission for this event is $10 per person ($8 for members), and will cover the cost of your first drink. We feel that adults who can not otherwise get to DCI during the day, or would like to browse our exhibits without kids, can gain a deeper understanding of all we do at the Discovery Center. Payette Brewing Company will again be on hand, and we have learned from our November 16 Adult Night that you would like something to eat as well. So, we will have several food trucks on site serving munchies and dinner at very reasonable prices.
