Visit Planet Word on the first Wednesday of each month for after-hours wordplay from 5 to 8 p.m. All three floors of the museum will stay open late, including the interactive “Unlock the Music” karaoke gallery and the laugh-out-loud “Joking Around” humor gallery. It’s the ultimate happy hour and game night combo: explore the museum, test your skills with word-based puzzles and games, and browse the Present Perfect gift shop for a little retail therapy.

Enjoy complimentary treats, plus beer, wine, and soda for purchase from Immigrant Food. Pay what you can: $5–$25. Your ticket allows us to continue offering more great programs like Wordplay Wednesday to a wider audience.
