Step into an evening of intrigue and excitement at the Discovery Center’s upcoming 21+ Adult Night: Murder Mystery with Watson’s Mystery Cafe & Spirits on December 5th from 6-10pm. This time, we’re taking you back to the slopes with a totally tubular 1980s ski resort theme. Dress in your best retro ski gear – or go full 80’s, solve the mystery, and enjoy a night full of clues, laughter, and frosty fun—just for adults 21 and over.

As you party in the vibrant atmosphere, you can feel good knowing that a portion of every sip and bite you indulge in will be generously donated by our partners to fueling STEM and art programming at the Discovery Center of Idaho.
