Based on Pink Floyd’s 1973 album of humanitarian, political and philosophical empathy, Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most startling and bizarre laser light shows of all time!

Considered by many critics to be the album that brought the commercial breakthrough to Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon offers a mixture of psychedelic, rock and jazz sounds. Its sonic backdrops and atmospheric soundscapes combined with a unique assortment of sound effects yield an emotional resonance. When accompanied by a diverse and unusual display of laser art, the overall feel is a dramatic and haunting atmosphere.

As a bonus to this the special event, all ticket holders will be able to visit our Science Exhibits throughout the evening, open until 10:00PM. Come early to explore our vast and fascinating universe through two floors of exhibits covering marine life, planetary science, insects, and more! Special music and lighting effects will be present in the exhibit halls during these special laser light music nights.
