Tonight, you’ll have a chance to celebrate the kid inside you by racing to the top of a three-story maze, blowing giant bubbles, and painting with your fingers. It’s all part of the Boston Children’s Museum’s adults-only night, free of (cacophonous) children.
Titled Boston Grown-Ups Museum: Summer Play, tonight’s event gives adults full run of the Museum, the second oldest children’s museum in the country and one of the best—it underwent a $47 million renovation in 2007. The Children’s Museum’s permanent exhibits include an actual two-story Japanese silk merchant’s house (gifted to the city of Boston by the Japanese city of Kyoto) and a construction zone where you can build bridges and buildings. Visitors will also be able to ride bikes, take a spin on the light up interactive dance floor, help build a “big kid” sized fort, and take part in art activities.
After you’re finished playing, you can cool off with an “adult” snow cone and listen to DJ Kupah spin hits in the Museum’s outdoor lounge. There will also be a cash bar, snacks, and games like corn hole and giant chess and Jenga. Word to the wise: go early and buy your tickets ASAP, because last year’s event drew 1,400 grown-ups eager to play.
Boston Grown-Ups Museum: Summer Play is tonight, Wednesday, July 29, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Boston Children’s Museum, 308 Congress St., Boston. Admission is $25, and tickets can be purchased here. The event is 21-plus.
