A King-Sized Medieval Slumber Party For Kids

Offering a blend of fantasy and imaginative fun, the Knightwatch Medieval Children’s Slumber Party is a series of interactive overnights hosted by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. On May 3 and 24, kids and parents are invited to spend the night in the world’s largest gothic Cathedral. Upon their arrival to the candle-lit church, each child will encounter their individualized noble title and coat of arms. They’ll then join a jester-guided scavenger hunt for clues to assist a damsel in distress before creating their own clay gargoyles, followed by a celebration with medieval song and dance. Guests will then be lulled to sleep by the resident raconteur and find the modern comfort of a continental breakfast waiting in the morning! One adult must attend for every three children registered. Admission is $135 per person. stjohndivine.org
