Smithsonian Associates Announces 2026 Dates for Smithsonian Sleepovers

Smithsonian Associates presents Smithsonian Sleepovers, overnight experiences for children ages 8 to 14 and adult chaperones at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and National Museum of American History, in summer 2026. After doors are closed, families can explore two of the world’s most visited museums through guided activities, games and hands-on learning. Sleepovers begin at 7 p.m. and end at 9 a.m. the following morning.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
