Grab your Hammer pants from your closet, dust off your oval-rimmed glasses, leave your angst at home, and head over to the Children’s Museum of Eau Claire for the After Dark 90s Party! This 21-or-older event will feature a Toppers Pizza bar and a chance to relive your youth by grabbing all of the Fruit Roll Ups that your mom never let you eat. Alcoholic beverages will be served, so remember to bring your real ID (not your fake one made of cardboard) to enjoy choice adult beverages as you roam freely to explore and play with the exhibits that your kids won’t let you enjoy. Want to learn instead of play (said no one in the ’90s ever)? There will be Bill Nye-style experiments that will blow your mind. Plug in the Nintendo, jam out to some boy bands, and show your knowledge about the decade by playing the trivia games – I Double Dare you! Although you are encouraged to “Fight for Your Right to Party” like it’s “1999,” the fun will have to stop in time for you to get home to tuck your Rugrats in bed and brag about all of the totally rad things you did while they merely sat around with grandma and grandpa. 

After Dark 90s Party! • Friday, Nov. 4, 7:30-10:30pm • The Children’s Museum of Eau Claire, 220 S. Barstow St., Eau Claire • $25 or $45 for two • 21+ only • ChildrensMuseumEC.com
