The San Diego Natural History Museum is keeping Nat at Night going on Friday evenings through December 18, 2026. From 5 to 11 p.m., the five floors stay open, the rooftop deck serves drinks and food, and admission drops to half price after 5 p.m.: $12.50 for adults and $8.50 for youth ages 3 to 17, instead of $24.95 and $16.95. Kids 2 and under are free, and members and Explorer pass holders get in free.

Buy tickets online or at the door. The series skips December 4, which is December Nights. The museum is closed Thanksgiving Day. There are no extra discounts stacked on Nat at Night tickets, and the rooftop is first-come, first-served — join the virtual waitlist when you arrive if it is busy.

Local tip: parking in Balboa Park is free after 6 p.m., which lines up nicely with a 5 p.m. arrival. The current special exhibition is Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea. Make a Friday of it, then walk the Prado if you still have energy. Details: The Nat’s Nat at Night page.
