Deets: National Children’s Museum invites community members, museum supporters, and new friends to its much-anticipated fall fundraiser, “Curiosity + Cocktails,” on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. This exclusive after-hours event gives guests the rare chance to rediscover their inner child while supporting hands-on STEAM education for children across the region.

Decadent desserts and complimentary craft cocktails will be served throughout the night, and a live DJ will be spinning nostalgic hits from the '90s and early 2000s. In addition to open exploration of the exhibit floor, guests can “build their own adventure” as they make their way through several playful pop-up experiences and engage in interactive science and art activations.

“All proceeds from 'Curiosity + Cocktails' directly support our mission to inspire children to care about and change the world through accessible, hands-on STEAM learning,” said Kiryn Hoffman, President and CEO of National Children’s Museum.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets for $150 per person are available starting September 15. Interested parties can sign up here to be notified when tickets are released. Creative cocktail attire is encouraged.
