Museum Sleepovers


Sleep among the dinosaurs for a once in a lifetime prehistoric adventure and explore the Museum after dark in this unique overnight experience at Melbourne Museum – home of the dinosaurs!

You’ll also slumber in modern-day comfort on dreamy ergonomic mattresses provided by our event partner, Ecosa.

Enjoy the Minecraft Movie 3D up-close on the giant screen at IMAX with all the snacks. Experience an exclusive campfire stories experience about the creatures from the natural world in the Dynamic Earth Exhibition before taking your very own Dinosaur Walk tour and Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs torchlight tour before settling in for some sleep (if you dare) among the dinosaurs.

Wake to delicious breakfast and an early morning Baby Triceratops meet and greet before heading off to spend the day exploring the Museum.
