In August, we were lucky enough to spend the night at the Museum of Natural History. This was the first time they were hosting an adult sleepover, and if the whole thing ran pretty smoothly, they promised more to come. Pleased with the results, they've now announced their next adult sleepovers will be held on December 13th, February 13th, April 18th, and June 19th. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday, November 12th.
It looks like they're keeping the same layout for the event, with a champagne reception, a jazz trio in the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall, flashlight tours, and special presentations like a live animal demonstration. One difference we see is that the dinner this time around will be buffet-style (when we attended, there was a waitstaff serving courses).
The big draw, however, is that participants can roam through the nearly empty halls of the Museum, at night.
Tickets cost $300 for members, and $350 for non-members. Hopefully they've upgraded the cots for the next round.
