The Secret Society of Adultologists
Friday, September 13, 7-11 PM
From all things curious, wacky, mad, and wise, join us at the Secret Society of Adultologists: Wonderland for a 21+ after-hours event for our very merry 150th un-birthday party.
Disappear down a rabbit hole of bizarre fun with our scientists, artistic souls, and green-thumbed gardeners. Explore all exhibits, sip on craft cocktails and beer potions, indulge in fantastical food from local San Diego restaurants, and dance the night away with local musicians that will leave you grinning like the Cheshire cat. Bring your best top hat, pocket watch, or whimsy attire, you won't want to be late for this very important date.
$45 for non-members, $35 for members.
Tickets include access to all exhibits, activities, and entertainment. Drinks and food are available for purchase.
