Noon Year's Eve Party at Hands On Children's Museum

Ring in the new year early at our Noon Year’s Eve Party on December 31. Celebrate with a family countdown, Times-Square style ball drop, and a bubble dance party!

It’s a celebration at Gingerbread Lane! Meet the star of the party, John Dough (the Gingerbread Man), and enjoy a day filled with magical moments. Create sweet candy-inspired noisemakers, launch a hot cocoa catapult, and take a stroll down Gingerbread Lane, a collaborative kid-created cardboard gingerbread village. Plus, don’t miss exciting activities like Dr. Science demos, sock skating, and more! Be sure to capture the magic of this special day with a keepsake picture in our photo booth.

It’s the sweetest way to ring in the New Year!
