Spend a night at the Museum of Natural History…
As the doors close and the lights dim, you and your group will head out with flashlights in search of adventures. Meet your relatives in the Hall of Human Origins. Stand beneath a fearsome T. rex. Explore live-animal exhibitions with Museum guides or encounter live animals—bats, wolves, birds of prey—and learn about their habitats. Then watch a special movie at the 3-D Theater before the night comes to a close. Settle down beneath the 94-foot-long blue whale, next to African elephants, or at the base of a volcanic formation and fall asleep in the darkened halls of the museums.
