Mark your calendar for Tuesday, October 21, when the American Museum of Natural History will host its annual Family Party. It's one of the Museum’s most beloved traditions, and you won't want to miss it this year.
The Family Party is a spectacular evening that features entertaining and hands-on educational activities for children of all ages. It’s a unique opportunity for the whole family to get together and explore the wonders of the Museum after hours. You will meet scientists and educators and learn more about some of the most exciting artifacts and specimens in our collections. Live animals will also make appearances!
