Wordplay Wednesday: Back-to-School Edition

Wordplay Wednesday is a smart way to make a museum visit feel less like homework and more like a night out. The Back-to-School Edition keeps all three floors of Planet Word open after hours, with word-based games and puzzles alongside the interactive Unlock the Music karaoke gallery and the Joking Around humor gallery. The back-to-school theme gives the evening a playful excuse to revisit the kind of language games that usually disappear once the school year starts, while complimentary treats and a pop-up bar from Immigrant Food keep it firmly in after-work territory. Educators get their own lounge with activities, treats and raffle prizes, but you do not need to work in a classroom to get something out of the night. Admission is pay what you can, from $5 to $25, making this one of the more accessible ways to spend a Wednesday evening downtown.
