FRIDAY
Mystery at the Museum Kentucky Science Center $40 members, $45 nonmembers | 6-9 p.m. We love science. We love local food and booze. So we really love when Kentucky Science Center hosts its adults-only nights. This time, you and your 21-and-over friends get to eat and drink around the museum while trying to solve a mystery. You can try solving it solo or in teams. Youll also find help, thanks to forensics partners Kentucky State Police Forensics Lab, UofL Department of Biology, Louisville Metro Police Crime Scene Unit and the FBI. Or just drink, socialize and wait for the big reveal. Admission comes with a cocktail and themed hors doeuvre from Mastersons Catering. A cash bar rounds out the rest of the fun. Aaron Yarmuth
