  • Downtown Raleigh

The hour grows dark and strange sounds echo through the halls — it’s time for Adult Night: Tales of Woe. The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences transforms into a realm of gothic mystery this October as we uncover the science behind your darkest fears, test your knowledge of cursed literature, and let the spirits of Poe and beyond haunt your evening at this exclusive, 21+ event.

Enjoy a unique opportunity to experience the Museum at night while exploring the uncensored side of science. The event features interactive science stations, music, games, local entertainment and special activities. Beer, wine, themed cocktails and food will be available for purchase. Costumes encouraged (but not required).

COSTUME AND MASK POLICY

For the safety of all visitors, we ask that guests wearing masks or items that obscure their face remove those items during the check-in process. After checking in, guests are welcome to wear those items in the event. Costumes should not contain any elements that resemble, or could easily be mistaken for, an actual weapon. The Museum reserves the right to turn away any guest with a costume that we deem offensive or unsafe.
