Snoozeum
What could be more fun than spending the night under a real 727, nestled near a fairy castle, or camped out just steps away from a toy-making factory?
Enjoy a rare opportunity to visit the Museum after dark
- Explore the Museum's one-of-a-kind exhibits.
- Participate in optional scavenger hunt activities to earn a special patch.
- Receive a one-of-a-kind Snoozeum Patch for attending…and more!
Snoozeums are open to groups of both boys and girls, ages 7 to 12. One adult chaperone must accompany every five children. Groups must have a minimum of 10 persons.
The $45 per-person fee includes overnight admission, activities, a Snoozeum patch, snack and breakfast. Parking is not included. One of the current Omnimax® films is available (for an additional, reduced cost). Space is limited. Pre-registration is required.
Request a reservation below. Because space is limited, we will notify you if you have been accepted. A 30% deposit will then be due to confirm your reservation.
