Camp-Ins

Your overnight adventure is waiting for you!

As the lights dim, you and your group will head out in search of adventure. Find yourselves staring into the eyes of an octopus deep in the aquarium. Climb the stairs and you’re face-to-face with a real dinosaur!

Challenge yourself with one of our fun educational programs. Everyone in your group will enjoy an evening filled with hands-on learning in the exhibit halls, educational programs tailored to fit your group, and a larger than life experience in the IMAX® Dome Theater.

End your night by falling asleep in the darkened halls. Snuggle up by a tornado, crash under a dinosaur skull, or stretch out next to your favorite exhibit.

Let us customize an overnight adventure for your group!

McWane Science Center offers Camp-In programs year-round for groups of every shape and size! We tailor the overnight experience to fit the needs of school groups, Scout groups, church groups, and families. We require groups to have at least 100 campers for a private Camp-In. If you have a smaller group, pick a date from our Open Camp-In calendar below.
