Educator Overnights

Enjoy the Houston Museum of Natural Science after hours as you participate in an exclusive Overnight experience designed for Educators. In each fun-filled evening you will work on hands-on activities to use in your classroom, have a catered dinner, tour the exhibit with a trained docent, watch a movie in the planetarium, have a snack, and take a late night tour.  In the morning during breakfast, we will wrap up activities and hand out door prizes! After the overnight, you are welcome to visit the Museum’s permanent exhibit halls at your leisure. 6 hours of CPE credit will be awarded to participants on Saturday morning. Registration for HMNS Educator Overnights is restricted to Educators Only.
