GH4GU: Night at the Museum (Y2K Edition)

The Ultimate Throwback Summer Night Out

Saturday, August 22, 2026 | 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Doors open at 6:30

Dust off your butterfly clips, find those low-rise jeans, and grab your favorite flannel! We’re throwing it back to the turn of the millennium for an unforgettable summer night. This is an adults-only playground where the daily grind is replaced with pure, nostalgic fun. It’s the "recess" you’ve been waiting for—no strollers, no tantrums, and absolutely no judgment.

A 21+ Playground Adventure

Trade the screen time for real-time play across our entire museum campus. Experience our three historic houses after hours and discover what happens when "grown-ups" take over the exhibits:

  • Y2K Craft Lounge: Head to our creative hubs for a heavy dose of nostalgia. We're hosting a Y2K Craft Lounge where you can make iconic bead animal keychains or design custom Shrinky Dinks featuring Tech Decks, Tamagotchis, or classic cassette tapes.

  • Relive the Glory Days: Rediscover your inner child as you explore all the exhibits across our historic houses. Whether you are experimenting in the Engineering Studio or visiting our fan-favorites, the entire museum is your playground.

  • Capture the Moment: Visit our photo booth—the perfect backdrop for a Y2K-themed photo op to document your night out.
