If your Friday plans include mutant gremlins, live music, and a little science-fueled mischief, Museum Movie Night is calling. Starting at 5:30pm, explore hands-on activities (think UV bracelets, origami Gizmos, and quirky gremlin genetics), grab food and drinks, and settle in for Gremlins 2: The New Batch at 7pm in the WRAL 3D Theater. After the credits, stick around for expert commentary and movie trivia hosted by A/V Geeks.
Curious about the full lineup of activities and how to snag a seat? See the schedule and grab tickets here.
This isn’t sponsored (though if gremlins start paying us, we’ll let you know). We just appreciate a good creature feature with a side of science. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).

It’s not fancy, it’s not fussy, but when it’s late and you need something solid, Benny’s delivers. The crust holds up, the cheese is generous, and the vibe is pure no-frills comfort.
