Join us on our journey to the stars at this special season of Astronights. Come on a dazzling expedition to explore the Sun, our closest star. Immerse yourself in the Solar System with hands-on workshops exploring light, an interactive science show and a digital gallery trail that will put your science skills to the test. There will also be time to experience museum highlights like Wonderlab: The Equinor Gallery after-hours. After an action-packed evening you and your group will spend the night dozing in our iconic galleries amongst much-loved objects. Astronights are sleepovers for children, this overnight science extravaganza at the Science Museum is packed with workshops, science shows and activities. Rounded off with breakfast and a breath-taking IMAX 3D film, it’s a night they will never forget.
