Location: Adler Planetarium - 1300 S. Lake Shore Drive
Kick-off your weekend early every third Thursday, 6:00 - 10:00 p.m., at the Adler Planetarium's 21+ event, Adler After Dark.
Enjoy cocktails and appetizers against the award-winning view of the Chicago skyline seen only from the Adler. Amble around the Adler's exhibitions or take in a sky or space show. See Saturn's rings or Jupiter's great red spot with your own eyes using the Adler's telescopes.
Adler After Dark is the only time you can peek through the Doane Observatory telescope, the largest telescope in the Midwest accessible to the public. Great for groups and makes for a very original first date, Adler After Dark has something for everyone!
