NEW YORK (AP) — If you’re not afraid of things that go bump in the night, an adults-only sleepover at the American Museum of Natural History could be just what you’re looking for.

NEW YORK (AP) — If you’re not afraid of things that go bump in the night, an adults-only sleepover at the American Museum of Natural History could be just what you’re looking for.

The New York City museum will have its first-ever sleepover adventure for adults 21 years old and older on Aug. 1.

It’s a far cry from the kiddie version.

For one thing, the charge is $325 for museum members and $375 for nonmembers.

A champagne reception, music and a three-course dinner are on tap.

Then, it’s off to explore the museum’s enormous dinosaur skeletons and African mammals. There’s also a flashlight tour of the darkened fossil halls.

Participants will unroll their sleeping bags under the popular 94-foot-long blue whale.

The nocturnal adults-only adventure is scheduled from 6:30 p.m.-9 a.m.
