| Night at the Museum is one of our favorite after-work mixers... it's like going to a really cool hands-on science lab, but without the regular tourist crowds (aka kids). Better yet, each week has a different theme, a DJ spinning, people dressed in theme, and new themed exhibits to explore, so it's a fun new experience every time! Enjoy a drink and live music on site as we open our minds, get curious, and learn through playful exploration.
Theme: Nightlife goes west: wear cowboy boots, line dance, and learn some cowboy science |

What is the California Academy of Sciences?
This is the only museum in the world that houses an aquarium, planetarium, rainforest, and natural history museum! Want to be surrounded by butterflies in a domed rainforest? Marvel at the world's deepest living indoor coral reef? Say hi to an albino alligator? Gawk at sea giants? Have a real Night at the Museum experience with a t-rex skeleton (well, without the coming-to-life-and-trying-to-eat-you part)? It's all here! Ditch the kids, add a few bars, and invite a live DJ, and you have the perfect setting for after-work adult fun.
We start with drinks and socializing at the museum restaurant to get to know each other. Grab a drink while we mingle, enjoy live music, and explore the incredible exhibits and animals throughout the museum. Let's get geeky together... you may find that things look different after dark!

This Week's Theme: Nightlife Goes West
Don your cowboy boots – NightLife is serving up a whole lot of western flair. Get ready for an event that’s guaranteed to be ace high.
Spinning us through the night is virgo.cowboy.
Enjoy all the museum has to offer, plus these special events:
- Think you can ride it out? Climb onto our mechanical bull and see how long you can hang on. It’s your moment to channel your inner rodeo star (or just get the best photos of the night).
- Meet the Wild West Disco Cowboy. He’s rolling in with his glittering disco bison for photo ops and plenty of attitude. Dress your Western best—he’ll be on the lookout to crown the ‘Queen of the Rodeo’, so don’t hold back on the fringe, rhinestones, or ten-gallon hats.
- Now’s your chance to learn to two-step. Join Lower Haight Line Dancing for line dancing lessons and perfect the moves to keep you on the floor all night. No experience required—just bring your best yee-haw spirit.
