Creative Camp-Ins

Ever wish you could stay and play in the Museum with your friends after the doors are closed? Here's your chance. Book a Creative Camp-In and enjoy the Museum after the crowds have gone. Scouts can earn badges at these overnights as well as have fun.

Stay overnight and play in the Museum in our fun Overnight Creative Camp-In! (formerly Museum Mysteries After Dark) Discover what happens in the Museum after dark when everyone has gone home and the building is empty. You will be locked inside Creative Discovery Museum for a unique, after-dark adventure. You'll get to explore the exhibits, participate in a hands-on workshop, play games, shop, snack and much more!

Requirements: 1 adult chaperone (21 years or older) is required for every 5 children. Maximum group size: 100.

Cost: $28 per child, required adult chaperones free, additional adult chaperones $15. The minimum booking fee is $700 which covers up to 30 people (25 children plus 5 free adult chaperons).
