Night at the Museum

May 21, 2026

Calling all night owls aged 7–12! Get ready for an unforgettable Night at the Museum experience at Zeitz MOCAA – an exciting evening packed with adventure, creativity, games, snacks and after-dark museum magic.

Children are invited to come dressed in their favourite pyjamas and slippers for a magical night exploring the museum after hours. Activities include treasure hunts through the tunnels, fort building in the Atrium Bowl, interactive storytelling, creative play, music, photo booth fun, and a special journey through The Stories that Ran Away exhibition.

Guests can relax on giant beanbags for bedtime stories, enjoy delicious treats including hot chocolate with marshmallows, mini pizzas and hotdogs, and leave with their very own illustrated drawstring bag filled with creative artworks and surprises.

Parents, we haven’t forgotten about you!

A relaxed parent lounge will be available in the Members Lounge, where guardians can unwind while the kids enjoy their museum adventure. Canapés and beverages will be served.
