Cool article Lori!
My friend went e her kids and said it was fun. Is this one night only (Jan 15)?
Yes, it’s just the one night, Amy! Happy New Year! Lori
How interesting. Our science museum does sleepovers, but for the kids – not adults.
Hi Robin, They usually have sleepovers for children, but this is the first time they are doing it for adults! Cheers, Lori
Haha what a brilliant idea!
This sounds like so much fun and something my girls would love to do! Going to have to see if we have something like this locally!
They have something similar here in the UK at the natural history museum
Oh, very cool! Sounds like the idea in the U.K. took off over here in Canada! Cheers, Lori
How awesome! I would love to be part of this event, if only it was closer to home. I love the idea of having a sleepover, really nice.
I have never heard of this !!! i love how fun and amazing is this im intrigued now to find something like this awesome ~!!!
Ontario Museum is interesting, I’m so glad that you have an schedule to sleep over.
I am all for the adult night. The sleepover thing is out of my comfort zone though.
I’m not sure I’m up for sleeping with a bunch of strangers, but it oddly sounds like a little fun. I’d definitely be interested in seeing the dinosaur exhibits though.
I’ve never been in Ontario museum it looks fun and exciting.
I wish I lived closer because it sound like it would be fun. We don’t even have kid sleepovers anywhere around my area.
That is an interesting and fun sounding concept!
Seems like a beautiful place and I love the idea of an adult sleepover. I would definitely do this with some friends
I agree that this would be fun if you had your friends with you! Cheers, Lori
LOL well it’s about time that adults got to sleep over
this sounds awesome and something that i would love to do. how fun!
This would be a blast. I need to see if I can find something like this in my area.
Hopefully, you have something similar where you live! Cheers, Lori
I would totally go to this! I love museums and who said adults can’t have sleep overs too?!
I agree. We need more adult sleepovers! Cheers, Lori
What a great place to visit. Museums are fun and you can learn a lot of things.
This brings “Night at the Museum” to a whole new level! How fun! If I was in Ontario I’d say ‘sign me up”!
This adult sleepover sounds like a lot of fun. I would go to this if I could and the fact that it is in The Royal Ontario Museum is a plus. Thanks for sharing the information.
Oh my gosh this sounds like so much fun! We visited this museum just a few months ago when we visited Victoria and it was awesome.
This would be so cool. I didn’t know they did this for adults!
This sounds like SO much fun! I hope to catch the next one!
