Night in the Museum: Myths and Legends

Saturday and Sunday, March 16 & 17, 2019

6:30 PM-9:00 AM

Experience the Academy’s towering dinosaurs—including T. rex—after dark! Your action-packed night at the museum barely leaves room for shut-eye.

Join us for a legendary night! Discover what Yetis, unicorns and dragons all have in common and investigate the real animals behind these mysteries. Do your best Bigfoot walk past the newly renovated Gorilla diorama, and imagine your own Nessie as you gaze up at Elasmosaurus for inspiration. Arm yourself with a flashlight and your imagination, and see Mythic Creatures like you’ve never seen it before.

  • Pick your sleeping spot next to lions, tigers, or dinosaurs.
  • Go on a scavenger hunt, do a hands-on experiment, or inspect some not-so-creepy crawlies.
  • Explore every corner of the Academy’s famous exhibits, including our live butterfly garden and dinosaur bone dig.
  • Enjoy a fascinating live animal show.
  • Hang out with your fellow explorers, and enjoy delicious snacks.
  • Waking up early? A light breakfast and another whole day to explore the museum await.
