Overnight Adventures

Ever wonder what goes on at the museum overnight?

Learn about cultural and/or natural history of the Big Bend region in a whole new way! Overnight Adventures are a fun and engaging way to experience the Museum after hours while also having the opportunity to sleep among its collection! Overnight Adventures are available for groups wishing to have a fun-filled sleep over experience at the Museum, and may be combined with an evening birthday party. The Overnight Adventure begins after Museum hours at 7:00 PM and goes until 8:30 AM the following morning. Overnight Adventure guests are welcome to visit the Museum the following morning at 9:00 AM when the Museum opens. Admission fees are included in your Overnight Adventure package.

If your group consists of children and adults, the museum allows one (1) free adult per ten (10) children. Fees start at a rate of $375, which holds up to 15 individuals. Up to 25 additional participants may be added at a rate of $25 per person.
