You may bring sleeping bags, sleeping mats, and twin air mattresses. Battery or foot-operated pumps are recommended, because we cannot guarantee sleeping space near an available power outlet. 

Cots and tents are not permitted.

We recommend comfortable clothes with layers as the temperature may adjust throughout the night. Shoes are required when moving around the exhibit hall, so please bring slip on shoes for late-night restroom visits. 

If you're planning on using a phone, iPad, or other device after lights out, please bring along headphones.

The evening snack will consist of a piece of fruit, a bagged snack like chips or pretzels, plus juice or water. 

Breakfast will feature a selection of pastries, cereals, fruit, and juice.  

If someone in your group has allergies please indicate this when you register. We will contact you about alternative options.

We cannot guarantee that our provided food is allergen-free. 

The Night Shift Program is designed for families with children ages 5 - 12.  

Activities go well past most younger children's bedtimes. Younger guests may have a hard time staying awake and there is no place for them to quiety go to sleep before designated lights out time.

We welcome all ages during general admission, but the Night Shift program is specifically planned for Elementary-aged students and their parents.

Cancellations (by the registrant) received less than two weeks before the Night Shift Program will be subject to a refund of 1/2 of the total registration cost. Cancellations received at least two weeks in advance shall receive a full refund. Any programs canceled by the Lancaster Science Factory for any reason will be refunded fully.
