NY Night at the Museum Sleepover

Spend A Night in a Museum

Have you ever thought what it be like to live out the movie Night at the Museum in real life? What if, the stuffed monkeys and animal bones really do come alive at night?

Well the American Museum of Natural History offers just the chance for guests to sleep over in the museum.

The museum offers three remaining dates for this year to take advantage of this event.

  • September 26, 2014 (Friday)
  • October 11, 2014 (Saturday)
  • October 18, 2014 (Saturday)

Here’s how it works: The doors close, the lights go down and everyone grabs their flashlight for a totally awesome after-hours tour. You’ll see your ancient kin in the hall of human origins. You’ll hang out with dinosaurs. You’ll get up close and personal with fossils. You might even see a live animal or two thanks to the museum’s expert guides, who will show how bats, wolves and birds of prey chill in their habitat once the sun goes down.

Then, you’ll get to doze off on a cot (bring your own sleeping bag and pillow, please) under an enormous blue whale, beneath dioramas of African mammals or amid geological formations.

A light evening snack is provided, and the museum’s food court will remain open until 7:30pm, so there’s time to grab dinner before exploring the museum (and hitting the hay). Breakfast is also served. Note that each group must have a ratio of one adult to every three children.

The sleepover goes from 6pm until 9am the next morning.

Tickets are $123 per person with a minimum of two per party. Definitely pretty pricey, but an interesting experience, none-the-less.

Canada's Wonderland Leviathan

MasterCard Priceless Cities: Discounted Canada’s Wonderland Tickets

For most of us in the northern States, once Labor Day has past, it means the Fall season is drawing near and many of the amusement parks will be getting ready to close shop for the season. Therefore, parks like Cedar Point and Canada’s Wonderland will be open only on the weekends until November 1, 2014.

These parks are open during this time of the season for their Halloween attractions. However, during the day, the parks are still a family friendly atmosphere, getting the kids some last minute chances to ride their favorite rides and interact with the Peanuts gang characters.

Upon looking around in the internet, I happen to stumble upon a MasterCard program called Priceless Cities. Upon looking around on the Toronto page, I happen to discover that MasterCard holders can save 38% off the cost of a Canada’s Wonderland ticket through November 1.

This means a normal $59.99 ticket would only cost $36.99. However, here is the kicker. The tickets are not valid for Halloween Haunt. Taking a peak at Canada’s Wonderland operating schedule, that means you will be able to visit the park from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturdays and Sundays thru November 1. After that time, you likely would not want your kids in the park anyways, as the scary characters will start to make their way throughout the park.

This is an excellent way to save money and get those last minute trips to Canada’s Wonderland in. Our family recently bought Platinum season passes good for all of the Cedar Fair parks. So we have high expectations of trying to visit as many of the other parks as we can next summer, including Canada’s Wonderland.
