According to MyLondon, the Natural History Museum hosts Dino Snores for adults, an overnight event. Participants sleep under Hope the whale in the main Hintze Hall, as reported by MyLondon. The event includes a three-course meal in the T-Rex restaurant, according to MyLondon.
It features stand-up comedy with a conservation theme by comedian Simon Watt, who MyLondon states is the founder of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. A live animal workshop with ethical handling company ZooLab allows participants to touch some rare species, such as a snake, but not a tarantula, per MyLondon. A lecture about sharks with one of the museum's palaeontologists is part of the program, according to MyLondon.
Activities also include a game of Dino Bingo and a midnight film screening of the original Jurassic Park, as reported by MyLondon. Participants can stroll around softly lit galleries, including the dinosaur section, at night, according to MyLondon. There is a fully licensed bar and free tea, coffee, and snacks available throughout the night, per MyLondon.
Participants are serenaded to sleep by a harpist, including the theme from Jurassic Park, as stated by MyLondon. The cost of attending Dino Snores for adults has not been disclosed, and it is unclear how often the museum hosts these events. The event is described as a bucket list moment and a once-in-a-lifetime experience, according to a MyLondon reporter.
