Stay overnight at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry! Enjoy a rare chance to explore the Museum after everyone else has gone home.

What to expect

Join us overnight for our Snoozeum experience! Spend the evening exploring the Museum, take part in a scavenger hunt, explore the Coal Mine or U-505 on a tour, catch a big-screen adventure in the Giant Dome Theater, then curl up next to an iconic exhibit. The Museum is yours for the night! Snoozeums are for children ages 6-12 and their adult (18+) chaperones (one required for every five children). Snoozeums begin at 6 p.m. and end at 9 a.m. the following morning. You can experience the Museum at your own pace with Build-n-Play activities and a scavenger hunt exploring our world famous exhibits. Snoozeums include next-day General Admission, so you can follow up your overnight with a day of exploration. Three registration levels (two for large groups) allow you to customize your Snoozeum with reservations, add-ons like T-shirts and even VIP treatment!
