Grown-Up Science

APRIL 22, 2023

JANUARY 21, 2023 • 1:00 - 4:00 PM

The second annual Science on Tap beer festival, sponsored in part by Florida Dairy Farmers, is happening on January 21, 2023! Kick off the new year by exploring the science behind your favorite local brews. This 21+ event features dozens of tastings from some of the best breweries in Central Florida.

Whether you’re a stout drinker, an IPA aficionado, or a cider sipper, you’ll be sure to find something to tickle your tastebuds and pique your curiosity. Sip your way through interactive science demos, enjoy some live music, challenge your friends to a game of cornhole or giant Jenga, and more! In between flights and fun, indulge in tasty treats available for purchase from some of our favorite local food trucks.

Proceeds raised from this event enable Orlando Science Center to inspire science learning for life for all through engaging experiences that build important skills and illustrate the power of science to address real world challenges. Get your tickets now at osc.org/beer.

Ready your mind and palate for a night of wining, dining, and learning at one of Orlando’s most unique food and wine events: the Science of Wine! On April 22, 2023, join us at the Science Center for an exclusive odyssey of the senses. Leave the kids at home and uncork your inner sommelier as you sip, savor, and support our mission to inspire science learning for life.

We’ll raise a glass – and funds! – for a great cause with a large variety of vintages from our wine partners and a silent auction. Previous auction items include the right to name a bonnethead shark in our new exhibit Life, coming in 2023; a weekend in New York City at the iconic Lafayette House; a bioluminescent experience on Guana Lake; and so much more. Plus, you won’t want to miss out on light bites from some of the best chefs in Central Florida!

Proceeds from the Science of Wine support our innovative programming and Science For All initiative, which brings fun and educational content to low-income families. Through this program, we provide free or reduced-price admissions and annual memberships to low-income families, Title I schools, youth groups, and groups serving those with disabilities or special needs. Each ticket to the Science of Wine gives us the opportunity to provide Science For All admission to at least 7 individuals. Keep an eye out for updates at osc.org/wine.
