The event, created by teens for teens, offers a night of independence and science exploration.

Organized by participants in the museum’s Teen Apprentice program, the evening is designed to allow teenagers to experience the museum after hours with their peers. While a designated lounge will be available for parents who choose to stay, teens will have the opportunity to explore the museum without parents or younger siblings.

Tickets are just $15 for members and $20 for non-members and can be purchased online.

The event coincides with the museum’s Teen Apprentice program application period, which runs from March 15 to April 15. Applicants for the special program can visit SMO.org/apprentices to apply.
