Dozin’ with the Dinos
Join us for a night of family workshops, self-guided tours and fun activities; then spread your sleeping bag amidst some of the most popular exhibitions. Space is limited so reserve your sleeping spots now!
Overnights begin Fridays at 5:45 p.m. and end Saturdays at 9 a.m. Overnights are only available for families and groups with children ages 6-12. For information about pricing, see below. For information about the event, including a sample schedule and frequently asked questions, please download the Group Leader Packet or Family Packet.
**The April 20th overnight will be a special Egypt-themed event! At no additional charge, overnight guests can explore rarely-seen mummies from around the world in the temporary exhibition “Opening the Vaults: Mummies.” Plus, get up close with some mummies brought out of the collection just for this event and learn some amazing mummy facts from the Field Museum scientists who actually study them. You’ll make your own mummy mask, practice mummification on a life-sized “dummy mummy,” and tour an Ancient Egyptian tomb – in the dark!
