Museum Sleep Over

This immensely popular overnight program consists of a magical evening of games, activities and folk art.  Take a step back in time before falling asleep among prancing ponies and fiery steeds at the Carousel Museum in Bristol.

Don’t Go Home!

Stay & Play

Enjoy a special double-header. We have combined our sleep-over program with a visit to Lake Compounce Family Theme Park the next day.  This is a great over night activity, during season.
