Pack Your Bags For an Adults Only Overnight Stay at the Museum

Sans Ben Stiller, you too can enjoy a night at the museum. That’s right, this coming March there will be an adults only overnight stay at the museum. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is hosting “Overnight for Adults” Saturday March 7th & 8th.

We all fantasized as kids what it would be like to sleep next to dinosaurs or take a midnight stroll past mummies.  Well now it can become a reality.  However, instead of cookies and milk guests will be treated to wine and beer and instead of ghost stories narrators will share stories of their creepy collections.  During the overnight stay museum hosts will take guests behind the scenes and into the underbelly of the Academy to check out real skeletons and meet some of the live animals up close.

Aside from the guided tours the overnight stay also includes dinner and breakfast.  Again this is an adults only event so you must be 21+ to attend.  As for the price this museum adventure will cost $190 for members and $165 for non-members. So what is all included during the stay you ask? Well here are the highlights and itinerary:
