SLEEPOVERS
Big kids like sleepovers too! MNS has enhanced its children ages 6-12 sleepover offerings with
the addition of teen and young adult sleepovers. A whole new world of opportunities opens up
when the Museum closes for the night. Sleepovers offer after-hours, “behind-the-scenes” access to
intriguing exhibits, exclusive shows, and hands-on activities. Overnighters can explore MNS in all
sorts of new ways through secretive scavenger hunts in darkened galleries, make “crafty”
souvenirs to take home, charge their senses with a nighttime Electric Theater performance or Fire
and Ice show - and wake up with an eye-opening IMAX® film.

MNS sleepovers are great for schools, churches, scout troops, sports teams, sororities and
fraternities – any group that wants to bond and have fun. Sleepovers focus on learning, team
building, and most importantly, entertainment! And MNS sleepover offerings provide age-
appropriate, customized fun for different age groups – kids, teens and young adults! Packages
also include a late-night pizza snack and breakfast in the morning.

For more information about themes and how to register visit our web site.

  • 4. SLEEPOVERS Big kids like sleepovers too! MNS has enhanced its children ages 6-12 sleepover offerings with the addition of teen and young adult sleepovers. A whole new world of opportunities opens up when the Museum closes for the night. Sleepovers offer after-hours, “behind-the-scenes” access to intriguing exhibits, exclusive shows, and hands-on activities. Overnighters can explore MNS in all sorts of new ways through secretive scavenger hunts in darkened galleries, make “crafty” souvenirs to take home, charge their senses with a nighttime Electric Theater performance or Fire and Ice show - and wake up with an eye-opening IMAX® film. MNS sleepovers are great for schools, churches, scout troops, sports teams, sororities and fraternities – any group that wants to bond and have fun. Sleepovers focus on learning, team building, and most importantly, entertainment! And MNS sleepover offerings provide age- appropriate, customized fun for different age groups – kids, teens and young adults! Packages also include a late-night pizza snack and breakfast in the morning. For more information about themes and how to register visit our web site.
