Plan your family’s visit now to enjoy all the evening has to offer:
Please note, Santa’s Cabin closes at 7:30PM. Upon arriving to the museum, families wanting to see Santa are highly encouraged to do so at the beginning of their visit. Jolly Saint Nick is quite a popular fella, so wait times may be longer than usual.
