Highlights at the oldest natural history museum in the Americas include Dinosaur Hall, with a fossil preparation lab and hands-on fossil dig site.
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is hosting an adult sleepover on Saturday, April 9. At the 21-plus event, drink through a nighttime scavenger hunt, sleep next to dinosaur bones and wake up to mimosas.
Those are only a few perks of staying overnight in the museum, though. While there, guests will get behind-the-scenes tours of the Academy; encounter weird, live animals; and watch a sci-fi movie before bed.
A fajita dinner will be served at 8 p.m., and breakfast the next morning begins at 7 a.m. Anyone who attends the overnight experience has all-day admission to the museum, too.
Tickets for the event start at $165 for members and $190 for non-members. Both meals, a complimentary mimosa, an option to add on two drinks (a cash bar will also be set up), all the activities, a spot in Dinosaur Hall and next-day admission are all included.
