Celebration Crossing: Opening Day

November 28 @ 10:00 am 5:00 pm EST

Kick Off the Holiday Season!

Watch as Santa makes his grand entrance by helicopter on the front lawn of the museum at 10:30 a.m. He and Mrs. Claus will make their way to the Great Hall and press the Holiday Magic Button to light-up the beautiful 92 County Tree and kick off the holiday season! Bring the whole family and make cherished memories as Santa visits with children, spreading joy and cheer. There will be plenty of entertainment, live music, games and tons of activities to bring a smile to your face and a twinkle to your eye. Around the museum on all screens, you’ll catch glimpses of the latest updates on Elf News including Santa’s big arrival, the latest in snowball sports, recipes for Santa’s favorite cookies and more. Don’t miss a chance to hop on our magical Snowfall Express for an enchanting train ride through a winter wonderland. Check Santa’s schedule to see who will be in attendance.
