After Dark: Chillusions —  Winter Magic Edition

Step Into a World of Winter Magic — Backed by Science

The nights are getting colder, but the science is heating up at the Winter Magic edition of After Dark! With a drink in hand and curiosity in your heart, explore a night where illusions amaze and science take center stage.

Wander with wonder through our galleries and get spellbound by live magician performances and uncover the secrets behind the tricks in our Puzzles & Illusions gallery. Feel the pull of physics in Eureka, where real forces create seemingly magic effects.

Get creative with a touch of math and geometry and design your own 3D snowflake, and take home your frosty ornament.

Whether you’re drawn to deception, sleight of hand, or the quiet magic of snowfall, this is your night of wonder, science and chillusions — just for adults.
