FAQs for Sleepovers

Q: What should I pack?

A: We recommend bringing along a sleeping bag and a pillow (it can be chilly in some places, so an extra blanket never hurts), pajamas, a toothbrush and toothpaste, and a change of clothes for the next day. A portable battery pack to charge your electronic devices overnight may not be a bad idea, as we can’t guarantee that you will be sleeping next to an outlet. If ambient lights and noises bother you, you may want to consider bringing earplugs and/or a sleeping mask.

Q: When does check-in for sleepovers begin?

A: Check in begins promptly at 6:00 PM. If you arrive early, please wait to bring in your belongings until after you have checked in.

Q: Where do I go once I arrive?

A: You or your group leader should first check in at the admissions counter, then proceed to the sleepover staff at the Ask Me desk to finish the check in procedure.

Q: Where will I be sleeping?

A: We sleep guests throughout the entire building. When we have large sleepovers, some guests may sleep in Sportsworks.

Q: We are attending an upcoming sleepover with some friends. How do we make sure we are in the same sleeping area?

A: Just let us know who you are attending the sleepover with when you register and we will be more than happy to make sure that you and your friends are together.

Q: What if I need special sleeping accommodations?

A: If you or someone in your group requires special sleeping accommodations, please feel free to reach out to us by calling 412.237.3400.

Q: How dark does it get in the building at night?
