ECHO AfterDark is what grown ups do
when they go out on the town in Burlington, Vermont.

At ECHO AfterDark we mix up the perfect cocktail for the intellectually adventurous: one part science, one part intrigue and two parts fun, served nicely within the beautiful atmosphere of ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center. Socialize amongst the fish, frogs, turtles and other wildlife while engaging in hot topics of the day.

ECHO AfterDark is a program that encompasses not only the popular Café Scientifique events that folks have come to enjoy, but also a variety of new and exciting events designed specifically for our growing adult audience.

We're always "mixing it up" for our adult audience with diverse topics of the day and new this year, our ECHO AfterDark events will be held in the Revision Lakeside Pavilion, an expanded new space with spectacular view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains and state-of-the-art audio visual technology to enjoy!

This year we're serving up topics as as diverse as chocolate and wine to original inventions by Vermonters to Race and Environmental Justice. All our events have one foot rooted in science, and one in fun!
