Event Description
Pack a sleeping bag, put on your pj’s, and leave the kids at home—this overnight is for adults only!
Nervous about sleeping under the T. rex? Start your evening with a beer or glass of wine. Instead of ghost stories, we’ll tell you the true stories of our creepy collections. Navigate the underbelly of the Academy and see some of the real skeletons in our closet. Meet some of the Academy’s live animals up close, and hope for a chance at an owl selfie!
This night will include dinner and breakfast. You must be 21+ to attend this event.
