Christmas lights, waffles and the supernatural will greet Oklahoma Christian University students and faculty interested in learning more about science during the “SMO 21 Stranger Science” event at the Science Museum Oklahoma (SMO) on Friday, Oct. 19.
Stranger Science will take place at the SMO from 6:30-10 p.m. at 2020 Remington Place in Oklahoma City, OK. The adults-only, 21+ night is intended to give adults the opportunity to explore the SMO without children “hogging all the fun.”
Visitors of the museum will have the chance to interact with amphibians, try SMO’s version of telekinesis, explore carnivorous plants, “get slimy” with ectoplasm, make LED Christmas light pendants and learn about black holes and wormholes in the newly updated Kirkpatrick Planetarium and see live science demonstrations.
“We are traveling back to a time of classic video games and scary movies, when everything including hair was big and even colossal pop songs could be a little thrilling—a time before social media,” Vice President of Programs for the SMO Clint Stone said. “It will be a fun flashback to the mid-1980s when the supernatural could be anywhere and there was a conspiracy behind every corner.”
The full museum will also be open during Stranger Science, giving guests the opportunity to experience permanent exhibits like CurioCity, Big Game Theory and Light Minded. In addition to themed activities, the museum’s café will be open, with various entrée and snack options.
“The museum’s upgraded Kirkpatrick Planetarium will have just opened and this is a great opportunity for guests to get a planetarium experience unlike any they’ve had before,” Stone said. “It is a night not to be missed.”
Tickets are $21 in advance, $25 on the day of the event and are available online, in person during regular museum hours and over the phone. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance as admission is limited.
The information above comes from a Science Museum of Oklahoma press release. There will be no ticket sales after 7:30 p.m. the night of the event and no outside food or beverages are permitted. Additional SMO 21 events—with themes to be announced—are set for Feb. 1, April 26 and June 7, 2019.
