Fall 2025 University Date Night


University Date Night was truly lit as hundreds of university students visited the museum to learn about bioluminescence during the Night of Lights. Curious visitors took a deep dive into current events as they explored the different levels of the ocean in “Journey to the Hadal Zone.” Many strange and wonderful creatures made an appearance there—and we’re not just talking about the students!


Fans of the firefly squid gave it a glowing recommendation when they found it again at the button station. Many guests also left with noticeably brighter countenances after visiting the glow-in-the-dark face-paint station.

Couples flashed each other (honor code approved) with flashlights and Morse code in the Firefly Room. Clear communication can be tricky, but they found a way. We don’t know how many people met their soulmate that Friday, but we definitely saw plenty of sparks!
