We are looking into the possibility of offering sleepovers at the Museum
as
a revenue generating program. Do you know of successful models in
science
centers? We would like to contact a few places who can help us
understand if
the registration fees will cover all of the expenses it will take to run
the
program - salary, program development and supplies, keeping the building
open, etc. 
 
Also, we want to know what others are charging per person, what
activities
are offered, and other program parameters.
 
Thanks!
