The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia isn’t just for kids. Following the success of last year’s program, the science museum offers an adult-only science series, Science After Hours. Each month, the museum features a one-night event filled with experiments, discussions and demonstrations geared towards adults. Of course, cocktails and light food are included. Events cover a range of subjects.
