The Science Museum in West London has been one of the capital's most popular attractions since it opened almost 100 years ago. Families who want an exclusive experience of the museum can book in for Astronights, an exciting sleepover event that's ideal for children aged 7-11 and their guardians. The museum has been running the odd sleepover for two decades now, and you can join the fun this year on 17th May, 21st June, or 12th July.

Attendees will get a unique chance to explore the museum when it's not packed out with crowds, so you can get up close with all those exciting exhibits. Loads of activities will be taking place too – expect interactive workshops, shows, and activities all inspired by space. Guests also get a tasty breakfast in the morning, and the chance to watch a 3D film on the museum's famous IMAX screen.

Standard and VIP tickets are on sale now for all three nights. VIP tickets come with added perks like airbeds, guaranteed space in the sleeping gallery, and a dedicated VIP usher team to ensure you're comfortable and happy. Find out more about Astronights and book your tickets on the Science Museum's website.
