Sleep Among Giants! An Overnight Adventure!
The dinosaurs come alive at night! The thrill of adventure awaits as you set out on the ultimate cretaceous campout. Before you head to sleep under the stars, explore the lantern-lit dinosaur trails, participate in games and activities, enjoy a snack before bed, and other surprises along the way. You’ll start the next day with a light breakfast at 6:15am.

Sleeping Arrangements

Groups will sleep overnight in a tent (provided by FSD) throughout the park. Cots are available for use for an additional charge, but it will limit the number of people able to sleep comfortably in a tent.
