My sister’s boyfriend is a firefighter around Portland, Oregon. Anyway, I got to wear turnouts and tour a fire truck. Which is as exciting as it was when you’re 5, just for the record.
OMSI [The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry] After Dark is an opportunity for the 21-and-over crowd to shoot off water rockets, concoct chemical creations, and explore the wonders of OMSI with no kids in sight! Enjoy a glass of wine while learning about robots, tornados, or fossils. Have a pint of local beer while probing the puzzles of our newest exhibit, Mindbender Mansion. Talk to a distiller about the science behind brandy or taste the hints of maple, vanilla, and dark chocolate in sustainably harvested coffee.

What a fantastic idea. If you are ever in Portland, OR (and I encourage you to visit for other reasons as well) you should definitely see if OMSI After Dark is a possibility.
