Liberty Science Center: After Dark Admission at Liberty Science Center

Liberty Science Center After Dark Tickets

Liberty Science Center transforms into an adults-only playground every Thursday evening from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This 21+ event gives you exclusive access to the museum's permanent exhibitions without the crowds, plus live entertainment, themed cocktails, and a proper dance floor. Each week features a different theme that influences everything from the decor to the specialty menu items.

Plan Your Visit to Liberty Science Center After Dark

After Dark events run every Thursday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, exclusively for guests 21 and over. Bring valid photo identification as it's required for entry. The venue is wheelchair accessible and located in Jersey City with views across to Manhattan.

Arrive early for the best access to popular exhibits and activities. While your ticket includes permanent exhibitions and live entertainment, some special exhibitions and planetarium shows require additional fees. On-site parking is limited, so consider rideshare options or ferry services from nearby Liberty State Park if you're combining your visit with other area attractions.

Food and themed drinks are available for purchase throughout the evening. The event works particularly well as part of a Jersey City night out, and you could easily combine it with dinner cruises departing from nearby harbours for a complete evening experience.
