Featuring a new theme each time, no two Science Night Live events are the same! Must be 18 years or older to attend.
Limited tickets are available for just $20 and usually sell out online in advance so purchase yours today!
Orlando Science Center Members receive discounted admission for $3, reserve your tickets in advance!
Despite our efforts to encourage OSC Members to cancel tickets if they can't attend, we've noticed an increase in no-shows for some events. Since we limit capacity for Science Night Live to ensure a great experience, these no-shows prevent others from purchasing tickets. As a nonprofit organization, this revenue is essential to help us support our mission to inspire science learning. In an effort to curb attrition, there is a nominal Member fee of $3 for Science Night Live.
