Is this worth it if my kids aren't into dance or theater?

Museum Night is more about the experience and exploring the venue than sitting through a formal show, so it depends on your kids' energy level and curiosity. If they like wandering around, trying new things, and seeing performers in action, they'll probably enjoy it. If they need constant structured activity or get bored easily, this might feel slow.

Will my younger kids actually sit through dance performances?

Museum Night is designed as a walk-around experience, not a sit-down show, so kids can move between performances and spaces. That said, if your kids are under 5 and need constant movement or get overwhelmed by crowds, this might be tricky. Older kids (7+) who like watching people move and perform usually find it engaging.
