| - We went tonight despite the mixed bag of reviews I have read about adults night. (every 2nd Thurs of each month this happens) We had tickets from our social club from work that were discounted 50% off so why not go check it out? I was also OK with the $5 parking. I saw security riding his bike diligently down all the parking aisles so at least our cars are being looked after. Parking was tough to find, it was a busy night! Make sure you bring your parking stub as you will have to get that paid for inside.
All staff were genuinely very nice and awesome with any questions. They love first timers like us! There is a map at the entrance so you can see where you are going.
There were 5 exhibits you could go into - we hit them all. They were OK. I liked the Earth and Sky the best. I think I realized that I learned about myself this night - that I was even into water and wind and how it effects the earth because I was reading ALL the placards about it all. I could have cared less about rocks in my Gr 9 geography class! So who knows, like me, you may come in here and learn something!
Many of the adults were having fun, participating in the little activities in each zone. My husband enjoyed the energy area best but of course - he is an engineer!
There were alcoholic drinks to buy if you wanted to wait in line. We skipped this as well as other lined up events going on in the lobby (collect your own DNA to take home?, find your blood type, learn how to knit, etc) It was cool that many people had their dogs with them to promote awareness on pet therapy. I had to pet them all and the owners were all so friendly!
Washrooms and the building itself was clean and I loved that there were hand wash stations everywhere.
There is a cafe upstairs where you can get hot food, smoothies, juice, pop, yogurt, salad. We took a walk through and it was great! Bright and lots of seating.
Lastly, we enjoyed the gift shop. I am the furthest thing from a geek, even if I were to try but there were a lot of cool "science-y" things in there. Of note - books for kids with a dinosaur on the front that is titled "All My Friends Are Dead". LOL What? And one other one to remember for the kids - "Here is The Scoop On Your Poop". Things have changed a lot since I was a kid! Science is not as boring anymore!
We had a nice date night out and we would consider going back to adults night maybe once a year to see what is new and changed.
