At a Penguins+Pajamas Sleepover, the adventure begins well before bedtime—and continues the next day. Spark your young science-lover's imagination by exploring our exhibits after hours. Go stargazing at a private planetarium show. Snack on milk and cookies before going to sleep under the starfish (or the penguins, if you prefer). And be the first to greet Claude in the morning—after breakfast, of course.
You bring the PJs—we'll bring the perks. Your sleepover ticket includes the following:
an overnight stay in an exhibit area;
rainforest access until 8 pm;
planetarium showings;
late-night milk and cookies and morning coffee/tea and breakfast snack;
secure overnight parking in Music Concourse Garage;
next-day admission to the Academy;
and more special activities!
