Tips & Advice
- Plan your visit for the Free Family Holiday Event on December 6th to experience the museum at its most vibrant, but be prepared for larger crowds.
- If you are participating in decorating a tree, ensure all decorations are securely fastened, as the museum provides only basic electrical hookups and foot switches.
- Consider visiting on a weekday outside of the main holiday event for a more relaxed viewing experience of the decorated trees.
- Check the museum's website for specific details on the 'A Dickens Christmas' exhibition, as it runs concurrently and may offer additional holiday-themed experiences.
- If you are an organization or business interested in participating, review the guidelines and registration form early, as installation dates are specific.
