The American Museum of Natural History will host its first-ever adults only sleepover adventure. Built on the successful A Night at the Museum sleepover program, adults ages 21 and up will enjoy a more sophisticated version of the popular event.
The overnight adventure will begin with a champagne reception and music provided by the 12th Night Jazz trio in the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall. Explorers can expect to roam through the nearly empty halls of the Museum, where they might run into a herd of elephants in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals or come face to face with looming dinosaur skeletons, including a 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurs rex.
Participants will be invited to attend a special presentation in The Power of Poison exhibition with Curator Mark Siddall. They can also visit Spiders Alive! and see more than 20 species of live arachnids or escape the earth with a midnight viewing of the Dark Universe Space Show, which is narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
As the evening winds down, guests will be able to unroll their sleeping bags and curl up under the beloved 94-foot-long blue whale in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.
This is a one-of-a-kind evening that offers visitors an intimate adventure of discovery that is unlike anything you have ever experienced.
