Odds are it included some of the universal elements of play – a concept we know is critical for kids to build decision-making and social skills but is often forgotten by adults. For adults, play can help reduce stress, sustain optimism, and is a way to safely take risks at something new.  Enjoy an evening of free play that will connect you to the natural world in the Coralyn W. Whitney Q?rius Science Education Center. Come in and explore at your own pace; feed your curiosity opening specimen drawers in the Q?rius Collection, sit down and do a puzzle with old or new friends, try a board game, talk with experts, lose track of time making art inspired the natural world – the fun is yours to have.   This program is designed for adults. Registration is free and highly encouraged. Space is filled at a first come first served basis.   #latenightsatthenationalmuseumofnaturalhistory
