Want to see the new Open Sea exhibit without the crowds? Join us for a Summer Nights Sleepover! Have fun with special evening activities and then settle in for the night in front of your favorite exhibit.

This unique, overnight adventure offers youth groups a chance to explore the Aquarium after hours and sleep beside our world-class exhibits. End the evening with a light bedtime snack followed by a late-night nature movie. In the morning, wake up with fishes and enjoy a continental breakfast in the Monterey Bay Aquarium Cafe and Restaurant.

Family sleepovers are a special way to enjoy the Aquarium after hours—you can even sleep next to your favorite exhibit! We offer fun activities throughout the evening that might include animal feedings or a peek behind the scenes. You can also explore the Aquarium on your own without the daytime crowds.
