This event will be the museum's first all-night event just for adults, after previous slumber parties designed for families.

The Canadian Museum of Nature is offering a real-life night at the museum, with a slumber party planned for next month.

The museum has offered slumber parties in the past, but designed for families. This event will be its first all-night event just for adults.

"We know from the success of our events for adults-specifically Nature Nocturne, Science by Night and Nature Tastes-that they're keen on discovering a different side of our Museum, one that comes alive after hours with activities geared just for them, in a social atmosphere where they can relax, explore and enjoy a cocktail," said Ailsa Barry, the museum's vice-president, experience and engagement.

The evening starts with a three-course dinner in the historic rotunda. It's followed by live music, some hands-on science, flashlight tours and nature sketching. The event will also feature a scotch-tasting with the Whisky Lassie -- a connoisseur who hails from New Brunswick.

Museum-goers will be able to fall asleep in one of the galleries, or join the all-night movie marathon. In the morning, yoga under the giant moon will precede a healthy breakfast.

The Saturday evening-into-Sunday morning event is September 14-15; the deadline to register is September 3. Tickets cost $165, plus tax. Full details are available at the Canadian Museum of Nature's website.
