Proceeds from the sale of Science of Cocktails tickets support Science World’s Bursary Program, which provides free access to tens of thousands of people who may not otherwise be able to visit the dome. This includes students and teachers who attend under-resourced schools; refugees, newcomers, and immigrants to Canada; people living with autism, physical disabilities, and developmental disabilities; and those experiencing financial barriers.

The Bursary Program also collaborates with many BC communities and organizations that are currently underrepresented in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & design, and math) fields, removing barriers to Science World for girls, LGBTQ2S+ learners, Indigenous peoples, and more. In 2022 alone, the program provided free access for over 30,000 individuals from across the province.

Guests will have the chance to enjoy unique cocktails from 30 stations created and served by the city’s best, award-winning bartenders. There will also be mouth-watering bites from locally renowned restaurants, chefs, and caterers. Alongside the enticing and delicious food and drink offerings, witness astounding science demonstrations, explore galleries and exhibitions, and mix and mingle with the nerdiest cool kids in town.
