Well, wowza. On Friday, we posted about museums that host sleepovers. And it turned out that you had a ton of great suggestions to add to the list, filling comments with amazing anecdotes and tips. We’ve compiled them here.
Lots of folks had fond memories of a night at a museum, either recently or as a kid; but everyone seemed to have had a great time. If you’re considering giving one of these a go, however, I received an emphatic pro-tip from someone who spent a memorable NYE at the Monterey Aquarium: Bring an air mattress.
