A is for animal, B is for bug, C is for chef, D is for doll - let the letter you choose guide your costume for our 2024 Ugly Bug Ball!  Celebrate with friends and colleagues while enjoying

  • an open bar
  • catered dinner by Avenue Foods
  • silent and live auction and...
  • dance the night away with the music stylings of the talented band, Liquid Pleasure!

Your patronage of this event not only supports our Sponsored Admission Program, making it possible for us to serve more than 10,000 students and economically challenged families every year who would not otherwise benefit from the myriad of educational programs we offer at the museum, but it also has enabled us to:

  • continue to develop cutting edge learning environments, curriculums, and programs that have made your museum one of the best interactive museums in the nation,
  • become the only nationally recognized museum in the commonwealth, and
  • be the only museum to be recognized as a certified autism center in Virginia!
