A night of adventure awaits you as you enter the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, just as the doors are closing, the lights dim, and the crowds shuffle out...
...the wonders of the museum’s Hall of Dinosaurs, Mammal Hall, and new Sant Ocean Hall are yours to explore.
Follow Indiana Jane on a tour of the exhibits, search for clues on a scavenger hunt, participate in a hands-on crafts project, and view the IMAX film Galapagos 3-D.
Then roll out your sleeping bag and dream away in the darkened halls of one of the world’s most famous museums...
... sleeping with the dinosaurs, whale, and the giant squid!
