Summer of Slither Sleepovers at the California Academy of Sciences

Kids with penguin at California Academy of SciencesIn honor its newest exhibit, Snakes & Lizards: The Summer of Slither, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is offering a special edition of its popular Penguins + Pajamas sleepover for kids ages 5 and older and their adult chaperones. These sleepovers feature an exclusive overnight stay at the Academy, special live animal presentations, access to all exhibits including Snakes & Lizards, a late night snack, and breakfast. Right now through August 20 you can save $20 by entering promo code PPAUG20 when you purchase your sleepover tickets online.

During your very own night at the museum, you can explore the entire Academy, take in an after-hours planetarium show and special animal presentations, and slither through Snakes & Lizards, where you’ll discover more than 60 reptiles from around the world with incredible adaptations like projectile tongues and remarkable camouflage. Before bedtime, whisper good night to Lemondrop the 15-foot-long albino python, and settle in for story time with cookies and milk to learn about Pierre—the Academy’s famous wetsuit-wearing penguin.

In the morning, rise and shine, then head over to the Academy Café for a continental breakfast. The sleepover package includes overnight parking in the Music Concourse garage, as well as next-day museum admission, breakfast, and snacks. Dinner is available for purchase at the Academy Café or the Moss Room. Reserve your spot today at www.calacademy.org/events/sleepovers.
