Adults Need Play, Too!

Nostalgia, silliness, and good old-fashioned fun greet adults at Museum After Dark

It’s not every day a night on the town includes a trip to the local children’s museum.

But that’s exactly what is going to happen at the Children’s Museum of South Dakota’s Museum After Dark 21+ event on Friday, April 17.

The event will include full access to the Museum’s exhibits with additional games taking place throughout the night.

Two people turn and point near a giant light bright peg wall while two others look on.
Lite Bright Pictionary is just one of the events that will take place during Museum After Dark.

 

The evening will feature games, such as Supermarket Sweep, Lite Bright Pictionary, Hungry Hungry Hippo, and Balcony Toss, along with Beadie Buddies crafts and board games.
