Along with full access to the Center's exhibits, the event features multiple activities:

  • Fingerprint Dusting: Move through evidence collected at the crime scene and compare the fingerprints found with suspects, witnesses, and the victim.
  • Blood Splatter Analysis: Step in the moment and use the blood splatter technique of analysis to pinpoint where the fatal blow occurred. Was the killer sitting or standing? Were they close or across the room? Did it happen in the library with a candlestick?
  • Scene of the Crime: Investigators will use reverse engineering to recreate the crime scene and try to deduce what events occurred leading up to that fateful night.

Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for non-members.

Special adult nights at the Discovery Center are a chance for the 21+ crowd to be a kid at heart and dive into some science! Most events are inspired by a pop culture theme with related hands-on activities. Three drink vouchers are included with the purchase of one event ticket.

Proceeds for the event benefit the Discovery Center.
