TEEN NIGHT AT THE LONG ISLAND EXPLORIUM

Schedule: Last Friday of each month, 6:00–8:00 pm
Fee: $10 per participant
Capacity: 15 teens maximum
Food: Pizza, water, and soda provided

Teen Night at the Long Island Explorium is a monthly after-hours hangout created for pre-teens and teens ages 11–15. On the last Friday of each month, the museum becomes a relaxed, teen-only space where kids can unwind, see friends, and spend time their own way.

Teen Night is all about choice. Teens can jump into our optional monthly hands-on Maker activity, bring their own board games or card games, or simply hang out in cozy seating areas to read, talk, or decompress after a long week. There are no schedules to follow and no expectations to perform.

Each Teen Night includes an optional themed Maker Activity for teens who feel like creating something hands-on and taking it home. These activities are open-ended and stress-free, offering a creative outlet rather than a lesson. Participation is always optional.

With music, snacks, open space, and a supportive staff presence, Teen Night offers a safe, supervised environment that still gives teens independence and ownership of their time. Whether they come to create, play games, socialize, or simply relax, Teen Night is designed to be a positive space where teens can feel comfortable being themselves.
