Deets: Sleepovers at the Museum are back!

Discover the Museum after dark before drifting off to sleep underneath the Blue Whale or surrounded by other beloved Museum exhibits.

From flashlight tours of our iconic halls to hands-on activities, scavenger hunts, group games, and more, this unique and unforgettable program is designed to spark wonder. Offered monthly for kids 6–12 and their caregivers, A Night at the Museum: The Overnight Experience promises new surprises with a return to the magic of the original Museum sleepovers, which began in 2006.

Whether you’re a first-time explorer or returning for another round, this ultimate after-hours experience is a whole new way to explore your favorite exhibits, including in the Museum's new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Highlights of the sleepover experience include:

Guided flashlight tours of the Museum’s third and fourth floor exhibition halls, including the legendary fossil halls where towering dinosaurs like T. rex are on-view
Self-guided explorations of the first and second floor galleries of the Museum, including the stunningly lifelike dioramas of the Akeley Hall of African Mammals and live insect displays in the Susan and Peter J. Solomon Family Insectarium
Trivia games, scavenger hunts, and group games in the Gilder Center
Complimentary bedtime snacks and a light breakfast
