Super Science Sleepover: Academy of Wizardry

Learn the science behind the magic and prepare to go back to school wizard-style as you visit your favorite wizarding shops and stock up on school supplies for the year. Identify wand cores and then craft your own wand to cast spells. Get your first chance at brewing potions in the SciLab and help your owl deliver the post.

Super Science Sleepovers are packed with hands-on learning paired with an unforgettable overnight at the science center. This event is perfect for families, friends, parties and special occasions. Each sleepover has a theme with multiple activity stations, a special planetarium show, an IMAX documentary, and access to exhibits for exclusive nighttime exploration. Then, when it’s ready for lights out—say goodnight to the dinosaurs and sleep in the exhibit halls.

Children must be age 5+ and all children must have an adult in their party.
