New York sells out adult sleepover under blue whale
Ever dreamt of kipping down under a blue whale? For grown-ups equipped with a sleeping bag and toothbrush, the American Museum of Natural History is hosting its first adult-only sleepover. The August 1 overnight adventure was so popular that it sold out within hours of being advertised at the celebrated museum opposite Central Park. PHOTO/AFP
What you need to know:
- For 150 guests, paying Sh32,000 ($375) a head, the night's festivities will kick off with a champagne reception and a little jazz, before adults are invited to roam through the empty halls of the giant museum.
- The evening's fun comes complete with a three-course dinner and drinks, an evening snack of cookies and milk, and a light breakfast of fruit, yoghurt, muffins and granola bars.
- Visitors have been told to bring sleeping bags, a pillow, their camera, toothbrush and toothpaste, washcloth and ear plugs.
- Pajamas -- oddly -- are not allowed, instead adults are asked to bring "warm, comfortable clothing" to sleep in.
