All events i have ever been to for VIP Nighlife have been awful. Falling down drunk people, low quality cocktails at $250!! No one at the event to ask for a refund. A waste of money - go elsewhere with more class unless your into trashy at $250, then this is for you

Si sos adolescente/ joven adulto te SUPER recomiendo visitar este museo por la noche.
Estados Unidos encontró la PERFECTA manera de atraer este público y que se interesen en la ciencia: alcohol responsable, música y ciencia TODO en un mismo lugar.
INCREÍBLE visita! Aprendí un montón y ME DIVERTÍ muchísimo!!
Fui en el 2016 asi que no sé como se manejan con el covid
