Booking essential. Book a ticket for an entry timeslot.

Join us for a night safari adventure, at our special after-hours opening for families. We'll turn our lights down very low, so bring a torch and search the museum for dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, some of whom roamed Cambridgeshire thousands of years ago.

Drop in to our hands-on activity stations: investigate fossils close up and explore beautiful minerals that glow in the dark under UV light.

Book a ticket for a timed entry slot. The event will run from 4.30pm - 7.30pm, and booking is essential.
We can only guarantee entry during the 15 minutes stated on your ticket. We recommend that you allow 30-45 minutes to explore the Museum.

Children must be accompanied by an adult. All adults and children need a ticket for entry.

We expect this event to be popular. If you book tickets but find you are unable to attend, please cancel your tickets so others can take your place. Your ticket is for the Sedgwick Museum ONLY. If you are planning to visit another museum, please book this separately.

This event is part of Twilight at the Museums 2026.
