Members' Nights
Explore the IMAG after dark! Monthly Members’ Nights invite you into the museum after hours to enjoy the museum with a little extra: special themed science activities, meet-and-greets with our Animal Ambassadors, and light refreshments. It’s just one of many ways we appreciate our members. These events run from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
*Due to the nature of our prepared activities, registration is required to attend Members’ Night. Registration is always free.
**These events start promptly at 6:00 PM. In order to give staff time to set up activities & refreshments, guests will not be able to enter early. Thank you for understanding!
