For one night only, the Science of Cocktails will transform Science World at TELUS World of Science into Vancouver’s largest cocktail laboratory of the year. This fundraising event has uniquely crafted libations from local, award-winning bartenders, along with mouth-watering food pairings, thoughtfully prepared by Railtown Catering.
Proceeds from this event will go towards the Class Field Trip Program, which provides kids from underserved local schools free access to Science World.
There is an open bar that has 25 different bar stations with award-winning bartenders. Bartenders will be vying for a 3D printed martini glass designed for astronauts to use in space.  Guests can vote for their favourite cocktails through their drink passports.
Guests can also visit various stations about the science of mixology, including the use of dry ice and liquid nitrogen and trying on beer goggles.
