Avoid Major Parent Fail: Book These Sleepovers Now!

Don't let this be you: "Whoops. It's sold out."

By Mimi O'Connor January 11, 2017

If you’re lucky enough to have crossed the American Museum of National History’s “Night at the Museum” sleepover off your list, congrats. (If not, add it to the family “bucket list.”) Either way, that’s hardly the only sleepover in town. You and the kids can sleep like royalty in a cathedral, a sailor on an aircraft carrier, a scientist in not one, but two museums, and more. Just note the dates and book soon — these affairs sell out fast! Click through to find the overnight for you!

For a Science Sleepover With Fancy Flicks: Liberty Science Center

Open to kids ages 6 to 13, the Liberty Science Center sleepover includes interacting with loads of hands-on exhibits, seeing a movie in the world's largest IMAX Dome Theater and a 3D film in the Science Theater, as well as a snack and breakfast. Plus: all-day admission the next day. The center hosts all-boys, all-girls and co-ed sleepovers, and you can also host a birthday party (with extra goodies) with an additional $200 party fee.

Next Overnight: Jan. 28, with dates through April 2016

Tickets: $60/per person
