At the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology we offer two kinds of overnight experiences: one for groups (like Girl Guides, families, etc.) and the other purely for school groups. They are highly successful and sell out frequently. I often get people telling me stories about "that time I slept with the dinosaurs."
Here is some information about both of programs:

The museum I work for is looking to revives and expand our offerings for museum overnights. In the past, we have done a drop off program for up to 20 kids, where parents drop off their kids to stay overnight at the museum. We have also done one Girl Scout overnight where girls came with their scout troop. This allowed for more kids because they had their own adults.
What do your museums do? What do you offer and charge for the overnight? Do you do families and groups? Do you find it to be an issue with mixed gender groups? Thanks in advance for the information!
