The science museum (sorry, I can't remember the exact name) in
Jacksonville, FL also used to do the overnight lock-ins for scout
groups.

Also, as a more involved lock-in concept, the Gateway Girl Scout
Council and the Spanish Quarter Museum (a living history museum in
St. Augustine, FL) have an annual weekend "lock-in" called the St.
Augustine Encampment.  A group of about thirty sixth grade girl
scouts are selected to participate in this event.  There are actually
two weekends involved.  The first is a training weekend to teach the
girls the history the museum portrays (daily living in 1740s Spanish
controlled St. Augustine).  The second weekend the girls and their
adult advisors set up camp (literally) in the museum and act as tour
guides (complete with period clothing they make themselves) for the
visitors.  It's a great experience both for the girls and for the
visitors.  The last I heard it was actually the museum's busiest
weekend of the year!
