Spend a night at the National Museum of Natural History

We thought it’d be nice to have a surprise post mid-week, especially one that involves you and your 8-12 year old having your very own Night at the Museum; Smithsonian Sleepovers.

A night of adventureawaits you and your child as you enter the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, just as the doors are closing, the lights dim, and the crowds shuffle out…

the wonders of the museum’s Mammal Hall and Sant Ocean Hall are yours to explore.

You and your child will go on an interactive exploration of the museum, participate in hands-on crafts projects, and view an IMAX film: Titans of the Ice Age 3D.

Then you’ll roll out your sleeping bag and dream away in the darkened halls of one of the world’s most famous museums!

Tickets are on sale now. Sleepover dates begin in May and go through August.
