All aboard the Holiday Express! Mini builders will create their own Holiday Engine train, complete with festive flair. It’s the perfect seasonal project to celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and holiday joy.

Sensory-Friendly Saturday events offer adaptations to meet diverse sensory-processing needs every third Saturday of each month from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.

Guests on the autism spectrum, people experiencing dementia, and those of all ages who have intellectual or developmental disabilities are invited to participate in a calming museum experience with less stimulation in a section of the museum’s galleries before they open to the public—reducing crowds, noise, and distractions.

Guests can explore the galleries at their own pace, relax in the designated “calming corner,” and share this time and space with open-minded members of the community. 

Ding ding! This holiday Trolley Car workshop takes imagination for a ride. Builders will assemble and decorate a classic holiday trolley, learning how pieces fit together while celebrating the magic of motion and design.

Cozy up for the season with a Winter Lodge build! Kids will craft and decorate a snowy cabin scene, complete with icy accents and winter charm. It’s a heartwarming way to kick off the new year with creativity and craftsmanship.
