Tropical Nightlife

Escape the winter doldrums with a trip to Tropical NightLife, where our three-story rainforest is just one of the places you’ll find tropical paradise vibes.

Kick off your getaway with a welcome drink from one of our rum-slinging “Tiki” bars. Roll up your sleeves and learn about scientific research in tropical places: Hear from Stanford scientists about tropical forest conservation in Costa Rica, current archeology research in the Pacific Atolls, and the effects of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands on both its residents and coral reefs.

Dive into the “rainforests of the sea” and explore the beauty and diversity of coral reefs during a screening of our newest fulldome planetarium show, Expedition Reef.
