Disclaimer: No animals were harmed during the research for this review. ... At least, not by me. Maybe by the sloppy drunk 21-year-olds at the hands-on tidepool creature exhibit, but actually I think the spiny sea urchins held their own. Overall, my friends and I had a great time at Nightlife, but I'm not sure that alcohol and the Academy exhibits are a perfect mix. What is cool is that you get to see the Academy at night, it's less crowded than during the day, you do have to be at least 21 to enter, and everyone is just trying to have a good time acting like kids again. My friends and I started in the rainforest exhibit, which actually turned out to be fantastic for me, since I was just getting over a cold. It was like being in a giant humidifier. My respiratory system loved it (kind of appropriate that rainforests are called "the lungs of the Earth") but my hair didn't. Can you say frizz? The chameleons, butterflies, and tree frogs were my favorites here. We then exited into the aquarium, where there was definitely a party going on, with a bar set up at the entrance. It was interesting to see people wandering from tank to tank, beer bottle in hand. I suppose being tipsy can only add to the cool factor of the already very cool leafy seadragons. Props to the Academy for being forward thinking enough to cultivate a new set of followers. At $10 a person, it's quite a deal, and even better at $8 for members (who also have a separate entry line, so no waiting). I'll definitely keep an eye on the calendar and go back when they have another interesting lecture or live band.

I went for circus night and it was a lot of fun! Really interesting ambiance, cool band playing dressed up in awesome clown outfits, trapeze girls and aerialists causing general awe... really cool! I didn't know until I got there, but apparently it was also no-deodorant night (I didn't get the memo). -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Went back for 80s night (which was unbeatable) and for the mashup (phenomenal music). Guaranteed good times at DNA! Love it!
