The Museum closes. The lights go dark. Do the skeletons and specimens come out to play?

Find out on this special edition of the Museum Untold tour after hours! We’ll have the entire Museum to ourselves to experience the exhibits like an insider. You’ll hear untold stories only Museum staff know. (What’s buried under the floor in the dino exhibit?) Discover hidden details among the dioramas, like a portrait of a cat painted into a mural, plus some special content just for this experience!

Walking portion of the tour lasts approximately 2 hours. The experience begins at 7pm in the Daily Planet Café where you can grab a drink(included) and socialize with your guide and new best friends. Your group will set off into the Museum at 7:30pm.

Guests under 21 are not permitted on this tour. Guests must show a valid ID at the door. Only 30 spots are available for this exclusive experience. Ticket sales end at 4pm on the tour date.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Our tour guide was Greg and he was wonderful – knowledgeable and fun, like a walking encyclopedia – but fun! I learned so much about science, as well as came away appreciating the many incredible details and stories in the Museum I never knew or noticed despite the numerous times I toured the Museum. Thank you Greg for a fun and educational tour!”
