This is an adults-only event, too. You must be 21+ to attend! It’s the perfect event for a date night or to spend time with some friends without the kiddos around – especially for those who haven’t seen our new exhibit Leonardo’s Lab, yet.

Say cheers with the Don Harrington Discovery Center for our fall fundraiser: Floating Through Time!

Floating Through Time will be a cocktail night honoring Amarillo’s Helium industry, the legacy formed by Helium industry giants, past and present, and will share the Helium Monument’s journey and a special reveal of DHDC’s upcoming plans for stewarding the monument’s history and artifacts.

Tickets include access to an open bar with great drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and all the same hands-on fun in an adult-only setting while we paint the picture of Amarillo’s helium legacy and future.

Your attendance will support DHDC’s mission to inspire and educate the 150,000+ guests who visit our facilities every year to become the next generation of innovators.
