Have you ever gone to Science World and thought, “This would be more fun if there weren’t any children?”

You can admit it, there’s no judgment here. Adults need time to play too without a legion of squalling infants underfoot. So on May 6th you’ll be delighted to know that you can party like it’s 1986 (important: you don’t have to dress like it’s 1986) in honour of the 25-year anniversary of the Expo, and enjoy an all-adult evening at Science World

It’s not just a party for those of us who go nuts for physics games and logic puzzles: Amanda McCuaig, communications coordinator for Science World, thinks anyone with a passion for the arts will be inspired by the science too.

The original name of the Science Centre is the Arts, Science and Technology Centre. The arts comes first in it because being creative and thinking creatively is a huge part of innovation. I think that it goes both ways– there’s a huge creative group in Vancouver who can benefit from thinking about things differently, and getting a different angle on approaching things creatively, from science.

Between exploring the exhibits you can rock out to 80s covers, screen print the Expo 86 logo or famous Science World dome (BYO t-shirt!), watching special films created for the Expo, and see Hubble on the IMAX screen. I’ll be camped out all night in the Eureka Gallery, playing with the light-wave harp.
