About this adventure
At a Penguins+Pajamas Sleepover, children aged 4 to 17 and their adults spend the night inside the California Academy of Sciences. From 6 PM, families explore the exhibits after hours, with the Osher Rainforest open until 8 PM. They watch a private show in Morrison Planetarium and have late-night milk and cookies before unrolling sleeping bags in an exhibit area, perhaps beside the aquarium tanks or near the penguins. The ticket covers the overnight stay, special activities, a morning breakfast snack with coffee or tea for adults, secure overnight parking in the Music Concourse Garage, and admission to the museum the next day. Bring pajamas, sleeping gear and a stuffed animal. Every adult must sign an online waiver in advance. Children must come with an adult, and adults cannot attend without children. The Academy says sleepovers fill up far in advance.
