Wild World Heroes will feature amazing books, awesome rewards and plenty of ideas for taking care of our environment.

National Museum Cardiff Sleepover: Outer Space from Home

You’re invited to a sleepover that’s out of this world! Experience a fun-filled night at the Museum from your own home.

Here’s the plan:

- Build a Space Station den and get ready to explore the museum like never before.

- Go behind the scenes to the galleries and museum stores and discover moon rock and meteorites.

- Do you have what it takes to train like an astronaut? Create your own jet pack and blast off in our fitness class that’s fun for all the family.

- What’s a sleepover without some tasty space snacks?! Make moon rocky road and rocket fuel to keep you energised throughout the night.

- Watch an astronomy show and learn how to find constellations in the starry night sky.

- Settle down for a film before bed – then camp in your space station to dream of floating through the Milky Way.

- Wake up bright and early for breakfast before creating your very own moon rocks at home.
