After Dark: Future Foods

Lose yourself in over 650 interactive exhibits exploring perception, art, and science at our adults-only After Dark. Grab your friends and a drink and get immersed in mind-bending experiences and unique, thought-provoking programs.

If we are what we eat, what will we be in the future? From plant-based proteins to food-delivery systems to the integration of robotics and technology in food production—and even serving—the landscape of what and how we eat is changing rapidly. Explore what’s new in our diets and go deep at Pairings: Hacking Food.

Free for Donors (https://www.exploratorium.edu/support/individual-giving) and After Dark Members (https://www.exploratorium.edu/membership/afterdark)

Adults Only (18+)
