Overnights
Don't forget your sleeping bag and pillow so you can "camp out" in one of our famous exhibits!
Sleep among the adobe houses of the Pueblo Indians, snooze next to a sea lion, or catch some z's near the Chinese Foo Dog during our public overnights. During MPM's exciting sleepovers, you'll also explore the Museum through specially planned, educator-led activities and attend a Planetarium show.
*Note: Museum overnights are occasionally themed in conjunction with a special event, but most feature a mix of natural history and cultural topics. Themed overnights are clearly marked as such when they are offered.
For scout groups and families with children ages 6-12. Overnights begin at 7pm on Friday evening and last until 8am the following morning.
