Sleepover at the Museum of Natural History
March 12
Museum of Natural History
Cost: $125 per person (child or adult)
As the doors close and the lights dim, you and your group will head out with flashlights in search of a variety of adventures.
Meet your relatives in the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins. Climb the stairs and enter the Age of Dinosaurs, standing beneath a fearsome T. Rex. Explore our live-animal exhibitions with knowledgeable Museum explainers or encounter live animals-bats, wolves, birds of prey-and learn all about their habitats. Then discover the Secret Oceannow showing in 3-D the LeFrak Theater before the night comes to a magical close.
Settle down beneath the 94-foot-long blue whale, next to African elephants, or at the base of a striking volcanic formation and fall asleep in the darkened halls of one of the world's most beloved museums.
Please RSVP early as we will be accepting checks immediately as space is limited and we exceeded 125 attendees last year. Children must be 6 years of age or older.
Please RSVP at [email protected] with the subject line: Sleepover at the Museum, include full names of all attendees as well as the age of any children.
