Have you ever wondered
what happens in the Museum at night after the
lights dim and the doors close?

Here’s your chance to experience it for yourself!

 
 
   

 The Buffalo Museum of Science is looking for adventurous explorers for its new overnight experience!

After the doors close and the lights dim, guests are asked to help security guards close down the Museum. But before the guests reach the exhibit halls they find themselves in the middle of a Museum Mystery! Guests embark on a scavenger hunt throughout the museum and must complete science activities and tasks in various exhibit halls to gather clues. Once all activities are complete and the clues are gathered, everyone works together to solve the mystery. 

After the mystery is solved, guests gather for a pizza party before moving on to their choice of the Museum Dance Party, crafts or a movie. The Palette of Life exhibit and its hands-on Color Lab will also be available for guests to enjoy. At the end of the night, guests fall asleep in their sleeping bags surrounded by ancient fossils, real mummies, or even the Museum’s rare collection of dinosaur skeletons. A light breakfast will be provided for guests on Sunday morning.

 

Pizza Party and breakfast included.
