Overnights
Don't forget your sleeping bag and pillow so you can "camp out" in one of our famous exhibits!
During MPM's exciting sleepovers, you'll explore the Museum under the cover of darkness. Guide your group through exhibits on a flashlight tour, experience a Planetarium show in our six-story dome theater, and finally "bed-down" in select exhibit areas.
For scout groups and families with children ages 6-12. Overnights begin at 7pm on Friday evening and last until 8am the following morning.
