Prefer an adults-only vibe? Extend your evening until 11 p.m. and dance the night away in Dinosaur Hall!

Step into a land before time and groove beneath the towering T. rex, enjoy libations from the Dino Drafts Beer Garden and sample food truck fare. As Philly’s hottest DJs spin mythical beats, you’ll be transported to a world where dinosaurs rule and legends are born.

Come dressed in attire inspired by mythical creatures — dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and more — as we celebrate the fantastical and the prehistoric, the imagined and the ancient.

This epic dance party supports the Academy of Natural Sciences and its mission to understand the natural world and inspire everyone to care for it.

Dancing in Dino Hall; First Floor Access only.
