A Knight’s Quest in the Museum

This event is intended for families with children ages 5+. Younger siblings are welcome to join, but are not permitted to sleep over. All attendees must purchase a ticket—children under 3 are free. Children must have an adult in their party, this is not a “drop off” event.

Nope! We offer “Pajama Party” tickets for our guests who would prefer to head out before lights out.

This is the ideal option for families with younger siblings who want to join in the fun but are not old enough to spend the night.

Right in the exhibit halls! All overnight attendees will be sleeping on the second floor of the Science Center.
