New York's real-life 'Night at the Museum' sleepovers

Since today marks the release of the “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian,” it’s worth noting that several New York City museums offer real-life sleepovers.

At the top of the list is the American Museum of Natural History’s A Night at the Museum Sleepover with upcoming dates tonight, June 19 and June 26.

Update: The natural history museum just announced additional sleepover dates: July 10, July 25, Aug. 7, Aug. 21, Sept. 11, Sept. 26.

The Himalayan-themed Rubin Museum of Art opens for an overnighter — Peak Experience IV — on June 13.

The Bronx Zoo has three upcoming Family Overnight Safaris, but they’ve all filled up and a wait-list is available for two nights.

Additionally, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum this year started offering Operation Slumber sleepovers for groups. And the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City offers overnight Camp-ins.
