Night at the Museum 2026

WOW, what an incredible night! Guests enjoyed delicious local food, cheered their way through a lively Heads or Tails game, bid generously in our silent and live auctions, and danced the night away, all while making a BIG difference for our kids!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, volunteers, guests, and auction participants, Night at the Museum raised over $161,000 to support the power of play at Explore More Discovery Museum!

We couldn't be more grateful to everyone who helped make this year's event such an amazing success!

✨ Relive the magic! Enjoy some of our favorite moments from the evening below, and scroll down to see the wonderful sponsors who helped make it all possible.

We’re already dreaming about next year! If you have interest in volunteering or becoming a sponsor, please contact our Development Officer, Sarah Sutt, at sarahsutt@iexploremore.com for more information.
