Spend your own special night at the museum—the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Invite up to 80 people to share your experience or keep your sleepover more private. Customize your sleepover by choosing from two packages and by picking up to three hours of sleepover games. Then settle in to sleep among the dioramas of bears, moose, and leopards in the halls of North American and African Wildlife! Scouts can wake up to exchange boy scout merit badges or girl scout patches, but no matter who you are, you can explore the museum the next day with your included museum general admission. Check out your options below!
