RESERVED CAMP-INS

As the lights dim, you and your group will head out in search of adventure. Find yourselves staring into the eyes of an octopus deep in the aquarium. Climb the stairs and you’re face-to-face with a real dinosaur!

Challenge yourself with one of our fun educational programs. Everyone in your group will enjoy an evening filled with hands-on learning in the exhibit halls, educational programs tailored to fit your group, and a larger than life experience in the IMAX® Dome Theater.

End your night by falling asleep in the darkened halls. Snuggle up by a tornado, crash under a dinosaur skull, or stretch out next to your favorite exhibit.

Let us customize an overnight adventure for your group!
