Overall, we had a great experience at Dino Snores for Kids! Little T has always been crazy about dinosaurs, and the Natural History Museum is one of his favourite London museums. I had my eye on booking Dino Snores for Kids for years, and finally booked it as a gift experience for Little T’s ninth birthday. He absolutely loved the whole experience spending the night at the museum and it was wonderful one-on-one time for the two of us.

We strongly recommend that you do not bring things that are of financial or sentimental value. The Museum takes no responsibility for loss of or damage to any items belonging to visitors.Please bear the weather in mind and bring layers according to the season. The temperature can fluctuate in the Museum. Afterwards, the children traced a sketch of a dinosaur onto a plain T-shirt and coloured it in with markers. The dinosaur T-shirt is a great souvenir idea from the Dino Snores sleepover experience, although the workshop did feel fairly rushed and the kids only had a short amount of time to work on their T-shirt designs. If that's not enough to tempt you, bars will be serving drinks and nibbles until 00.45 and complimentary tea and coffee will be served from 21.00-02.30 and 7.00-9.30.

We were guided to the downstairs dining area for breakfast. A light breakfast is provided and consisted of a pastry, juice and fruit. Central Hall Café, the main museum café, opens at 8:30am, serving hot and cold drinks and a limited selection of muffins and other pastries.The next activity for our group was the torch-lit trail through the Dinosaurs gallery. The group sat down for a talk by a paleontologist just outside the gallery, and then each child was given an activity sheet to find clues around the Dinosaurs gallery to discover the identity of a mystery dinosaur. No. Dino Snores for Grown-ups is for those aged 18 and over only. We also run Dino Snores for Kids, which is suitable for children aged 7-11. In this part of the NHM Dino Snores for Kids review, I will go through the event timeline to give you an idea of what to expect at the sleepover experience. Spending the night at the museum is an exciting experience, and there were three activities for children to enjoy between 8pm and 11pm, followed by a bedtime story before lights out. One of our favourite parts of Dino Snores, as I mentioned before, was the opportunity to explore the museum before it opened in the morning. Evening Timeline 6:30PM – Doors open / Set up camp We advise you to bring a bottle of water, a pillow, ear plugs and eye shades for sleeping as some lighting remains on overnight. As with all of our games, children will be learning as they play, developing number and counting skills, observation and turn taking skills.
