Sleepovers at the Museum are back!

On Friday, November 20, after closing for the day, the Museum will transform into your next unforgettable adventure. Explore your favorite halls and fall asleep under the Blue Whale or surrounded by other beloved Museum exhibits. Designed for kids ages 6–12 and their chaperones, this overnight program invites participants to:

Explore iconic halls by flashlight, including the legendary fossil halls where towering dinosaurs like T. rex are on-view.
Wander at your own pace through the first and second floors of the Museum, and see lifelike dioramas in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals or live insects in the Solomon Family Insectarium.
Jump into fun activities, including trivia with prizes, scavenger hunts, and group games in the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation.
Wind down with karaoke, live presentations, a bedtime story, and complimentary evening snacks.
