Nashville’s Adventure Science Center is trading lab coats for crowns! On Friday, November 20, the museum throws open its doors after hours for Way Late Play Date: The Renaissance of Science, a Renaissance Faire-inspired celebration of inventions, innovations, and the curious minds who shaped our understanding of the world.
Whether you arrive as royalty, a wandering scholar, an alchemist, a knight, or a mischievous court jester, this grown-ups-only evening (21+) is an invitation to play like a kid again — with better drinks. Guests enjoy exclusive after-hours access to every Science Center exhibit, plus live demonstrations and performances, hands-on science activities, Renaissance games and challenges, and a marketplace of artisan vendors. Music and entertainment fill the halls all evening, and food and drinks — including a cocktail bar from Rosemary & Beauty Queen — are available for purchase.
Way Late Play Date runs from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Adventure Science Center in Wedgewood-Houston, just minutes from downtown Nashville. It’s the perfect excuse to gather your friends, don your finest doublet or gown, and raise a glass to curiosity — because at the Renaissance of Science, history inspires discovery and curiosity is always in fashion.
