Birch Aquarium is launching Oceans at Night, a first-of-its-kind event that invites a 21+ audience to experience an immersive blend of art, science and technology after hours. The new monthly series celebrates the wonders and mysteries of the ocean after dark. 

Oceans at Night features interactive experiences highlighting ocean phenomena that occur at night including bioluminescence and biofluorescence, while creating a fun, adults-only atmosphere with live music, a glow lounge with life-sized games, glowing nighttime dives and epic ocean views. 

Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience is produced in partnership with the National Geographic Society. Commemorating the historic discovery of King Tut’s tomb 100 years ago, the exhibition combines the power of cinematic storytelling and soaring imagery to bring the National Geographic archives to life.

With nine galleries to explore, visitors wind through the story of a young boy to discover how he changed the ancient – and modern – world. Meet Ancient Egyptian gods before descending into King Tut’s burial chamber and joining him on a quest for immortality.
