This sounds like fun! It's Night at the Museum - but without all the scary stuff.
Spend the night at the California Academy of Sciences - in the Penguins and Pajamas Academy. Here's what they say about the event:
"Doors will open at 6:30 pm, when sleepover guests are invited to come in and explore the Academy after it’s closed to the public. Participants can take in the evening songs of the rainforest birds, sing “twinkle twinkle” to a sea star at the Discovery Tidepool, and watch the fish cruise under the moonlight in the Philippine Coral Reef tank. Then, guests can catch a special penguin talk, and become stargazing gurus during an after-hours planetarium show.
Before bedtime, sleepover guests can grab a snack of cookies and milk and settle in for story time, featuring “Pierre the Penguin,” the true story of the Academy’s famous wetsuit-wearing penguin. When the lights go out, participants can unroll their sleeping bags in African Hall, next to the swaying kelp of the California Coast tank, or even at the Swamp window, face-to-face with Claude, the albino alligator. In the morning, it’s time to rise and shine, then head over to the Academy CafĂ© for breakfast before the sleepover event ends at 8:30 am."
The package includes parking at the music concourse garage, next day admission to the academy, breakfast, snacks and a special commemorative gift.
During July and August, the Academy is offering a Summer Sleepover Sweepstakes. Every visit in July and August gives you a chance to win tickets for four, to a sleepover. After entering the building, past the ticket area, there's an Enter To Win display, and cards to fill out to enter.
