MSI After Hours: Naughty or Nice

I absolutely love that Chicago has a number of fun events going on around the city all year long. I listen to NPR's Chicago station WBEZ all day long at work, while I love keeping up with the news I also love hearing about special events. When I heard that the Museum of Science and Industry had an event for only adults from the hours of 7pm-10pm, I was instantly interested. With my love of museums and the holidays coming up this was a perfect event. Plus I thought it would be a good idea to go back after years of not going, this was one of my favorite Chicago museums from my childhood.

The huge Christmas Tree in the main hall

My boyfriend and I attended the MSI After Hours: Naught or Nice event, the tickets were $30 a person which was a deal to the normal price of a $54 adult ticket that included the same exhibits that we had access to. The $30 ticket included one complementary drink, appetizers, free underground parking, a DJ all night, pictures with Santa and access to the majority of the exhibits. There were only 2 exhibits closed that night, but the rest were free to the adults to relive their inner child. I recommend seeing the museum during the holiday seasons, the decorations are gorgeous! They do something called Christmas Around the World, the museum decorates trees for a number of different countries and explain if they celebrate differently. My boyfriend and I had to take one in front of the tree for Mexico, lets just say I want to decorate my tree like that, I fell in love with it!

It was such a fun time exploring the exhibits with a drink in my hand. Dancing in the main hall to Sean Paul, thanks to DJ Jesse De La Pena. The people watching was the best during this event as well. Imagine a bunch of drunk adults, young and old exploring an interactive museum.

We had so much fun at the event, and we will be looking into more events like this. Thank you to WBEZ by announcing it on the radio and thank you to the Museum of Science and Industry for making events like this, were we can let loose and have the run of the place without worrying about children. It was honestly a memorable night, I can't wait till the next one! Have any of you attended fun after hours events like this?

Con Amor,
