Orlando, get ready for the most spooktacular night of the year — and it is all for a great cause. On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Orlando Science Center transforms into a haunted wonderland for OSC After Dark: Halloween, an adults-only party hosted by the Young Professionals for OSC to benefit the Science Center.
This exclusive 21+ evening runs from 8:00 to 11:00 pm and lets grown-ups enjoy the Science Center like never before, in a relaxed, kid-free environment with a full Halloween makeover. Costumes are encouraged, and a costume contest will award prizes for the most creative, hilarious, and spine-chilling outfits.
Your ticket includes an open bar all evening — now with more bars and shorter lines — featuring cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, plus bewitching bites available for purchase from local food partners. Then the real fun begins: dance at the Monster Mash party beneath the towering dinosaurs of DinoDigs, sing your heart out at karaoke, test your wits in spooky trivia hosted by Curtis Earth, and solve the Pumpkin Picking Challenge to rescue the pumpkins stolen by the mischievous Skele-Tony.
Guests can also explore the interactive exhibits after dark, peer through the telescope at ghostly galaxies during Haunted Skies in the Observatory, browse the vendor market, and enjoy Laser Fright Light, a laser show that brings spooky scenes and Halloween favorites to life. Member and Young Professional ticket options are available.
It is Halloween fun with heart: proceeds support the Science Center and its Science for All program. Details and tickets are available on the Orlando Science Center events page.
