Have you ever wanted to spend the night at a museum?

We’ll be opening Cranbrook Institute of Science on select Saturday evenings for a very special overnight experience. Join us for one of five themed evenings – Bugs, Space Science, Galileo, Paleontology (dinosaurs and fossils), or Crime Scene Investigation.

Drop off your gear, grab some pizza, then dive into a series of fast-paced, hands-on programs. Next, step into the Acheson Planetarium for a live-guided tour of the night sky, peer into the telescope in the observatory, or investigate our newest traveling exhibit: Galileo: Scientist, Astronomer, Visionary.

After programming, pull out your sleeping bags and settle in for a night among the exhibits. Late night snacks and a movie add to the excitement of after-hours at the museum!

We designed the Saturday Science overnights to be fun, engaging, and awe-inspiring events for families, friends, groups, and Scouts aged 5-adult.

Many overnights are Scout badge-aligned – check the individual listings!

All Overnights are from 6:00pm – 8:00am
