Kids aged 8-14 and their adult chaperones are invited to explore the National Museum of American History after hours. Salute America’s 250th birthday by taking an all-American road trip through the museum’s galleries. Along the way, immerse yourself in the new exhibition, 'In Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness,' play I-Spy and the license plate game, make a pit stop, test your knowledge, and even become a presidential candidate in a memorable overnight adventure.

Includes exclusive museum access, guided activities, an evening snack, and a light breakfast. At least one adult chaperone (21+) is required for every five children.

Cost: $150 per person (reduced rates available for Smithsonian Associates members, active-duty military personnel, and groups of 10+). Pre-registration is required.
