Overnight Program
Ever wonder what happens to the Museum at night? The learning and fun continue with our Overnight Program for students in grades 1 - 7 and their adult chaperones. Discover science in an entertaining, educational, and interactive way through experiments, a Theater of Electricity Lightning! show, an Omni film, and much more. Plus, where else do you have a chance to sleep under a dinosaur or a giant grasshopper?

Museum members may register for one of the family-focused overnights held every year, usually in June. Available only to members, these family events are extremely popular and do require advance registration.
