You’ve seen the movie Night at the Museum, right? Well, here’s your chance to partake in those scenes (minus everything coming to life) in Denver…

The “Bones, Bats, Boo! Halloween Family Overnight” at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science happens this weekend, Friday night, Oct. 25th through the morning of the 26th.

The event encourages you to dress up in your Halloween costumes and get ready for hands-on science activities, creepy crafts, and more Halloween-themed fun. There will be story time and a show in the Gates Planetarium before snuggling up in the world-famous diorama halls, surrounded by ancient creatures and wild animals.

Tickets start at $90 and include pizza for dinner, snacks, and a hot breakfast after a night full of fun. The event begins at 6 p.m. on Friday and wraps up at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
