6PM | Laser Retro: Astonishing laser art is coupled with upbeat rock and pop songs from one of the most exciting periods in mainstream music: the ‘80s! With the latest and most advanced programming techniques used to create spectacular and striking laser effects, LaserRetro will become a favorite with everyone!

7PM | Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon: Based on Pink Floyd’s 1973 album of humanitarian, political, and philosophical empathy, Laser Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most startling and bizarre laser light shows of all time! It offers a mixture of psychedelic, rock and jazz sounds. It's sonic backdrops and atmospheric soundscapes combined with a unique assortment of sound effects yield an emotional resonance. A must-see!

8PM | Pink Floyd: The Wall: Considered to be one of the best classic rock albums of all time, The Wall is best considered as a continuous story rather than a collection of individual songs. It is a timeless classic, and one of Pink Floyd’s best, becoming the group’s second-best seller behind Dark Side of the Moon. Visitors will become lost and spellbound as their senses join this timeless journey.

The Cox Science Center and Aquarium is located at 4801 Dreher Trail North in West Palm Beach. (561) 832-1988
