Aurora Museums After Dark will welcome visitors to downtown museums after hours on three Thursdays this year, starting the week of Spring break.
Aurora Regional Fire Museum, SciTech Hands On Museum, G.A.R. Museum, The Pierce History Center, and Santori Public Library, will stay open for an extra few hours Thursday, March 29, June 21, and September 20.
The museums will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Aurora Museums After Dark. Admission is free.
The downtown museums highlight STEAM activities for all ages. Families are encouraged to pick up a museum passport and have it validated at all locations in order to enter a raffle for a museum membership.
Aurora Museums After Dark is sponsored by Aurora Downtown, a non-profit organization of downtown business and property owners within Special Service Area #One.
Brian Failing, executive director of the Aurora Regional Fire Museum, came up with the idea for the pilot season last Summer. “It allows us to bring families downtown to enjoy all that our great museums have to offer, and it allows us an opportunity to collaborate on new programming,” he said.
Downtown Aurora, when the stars are out, can provide a fun and educational treat for all ages.
