FreezeFest: Into the ROC: College Night at the Strong Museum of Play

Miss the last College Night at the Strong or want to go again? The College Night at the Strong Museum of Play is back again this semester!

Gather your friends and enjoy an evening of play exclusively for college students!

Explore more than a city block of interactive exhibits, play your way through the history of electronic games and pinball machines, and journey through childhood favorites. 

Put your skills to the test in the museum's high-adventure ropes course, Skyline Climb, and warm up in Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden (separate tickets must be purchased, and both exhibits close at 10:45 p.m.). Hungry? Grab a bite to eat from Bill Gray's at the Skyliner Diner. 

Tickets must be purchased separately and are $15 in advance, $17 at the door. Tickets can be purchased here
