Each one has a different theme, and each new theme includes performances and science shows specifically tailored to the theme. After Dark events also sell liquor, so visitors can stroll through the exhibits with their beverage of choice and grab a bite to eat from the concession or Triple O&#8217;s if they get hungry. There are also specialty-themed shows during the events, and pop-up activations around the exhibits that align with the theme.<\/p>\n<h3>Upcoming After Dark events:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>July 23<\/strong>: Sparks &amp; Rec &#8211; Outdoor Edition!<\/li>\n<li><strong>September 2<\/strong>: Science of Sleight &#8211; Magic Edition<\/li>\n<li><strong>October 30<\/strong>: Sinister Science: Halloween Edition<\/li>\n<li><strong>December 9<\/strong>: Press Start for Science &#8211; Video Game Edition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Know Before You Go:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>ID is required at the door to prove you are 19+<\/li>\n<li>Tickets can be purchased in advance at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scienceworld.ca\/after-dark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science World<\/a> or at the door if spaces remain.<\/li>\n<li>Science shows and performances are roughly every 30 minutes on the main stage.<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol (and zero-proof) beverages require tickets, which can be purchased in the main hallway leading into Science World.
