Dino Snores for Kids: Space Special

After setting up camp in our galleries, you’ll be treated to an evening jammed-packed with fun, space-themed activities and lots of opportunities to learn and discover.

South Kensington, London
Saturday 17 May, 18.30–10.00
Adult: £100, Child: £100, Member: £90

Travel to infinity and beyond as you explore what happens beyond the reaches of our planet at a sleepover that’s truly out of this world!

The mix of scheduled and drop-in activities means this event is suitable for a wider range of ages than our standard Dino Snores for Kids sleepovers. Families with children aged 7 to 17 are welcome.

Lights out in the sleeping areas will be around midnight.
