About

A night inside the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales after the doors close. Kids spend the evening in science workshops and games in the Geology building, home to the dinosaur skeletons, then roll out sleeping bags on the gallery floor. It suits kids who are excited, not nervous, about sleeping away from their own bed. Expect a shared floor, a big group and an early start.
