Freeze the day

Need to get the kids out of the house this season?

Take it from us, the Yule Slide is fun for kids + adults.

Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do. We recommend staying warm inside at Jolly Days Winter Wonderland, hosted by the Children’s Museum now until Sunday, Jan. 1.

For its final year, the holiday event will feature the Yule Slide, visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a New Year’s Eve countdown celebration included with the price of admission. For an additional cost, activities like gingerbread house building, breakfast with Santa, and a North Pole pajama party are also available on select days.

Can’t make it this year? No worries, the Children’s Museum (with the help of some techie elves 🧝) lets kids send in their holiday wish lists online.
