Winter Wonderland Festival at Imagine Children’s Museum

Plan your visit to Imagine Children’s Museum this holiday season during its Winter Wonderland Festival, an indoor holiday experience offering one-of-a-kind playful learning activities the whole family can enjoy.

Imagine Children’s Museum has transformed into a magical winter wonderland for children ages 1-12 and their families. Winter-themed playful activities at Pacific Northwest’s largest children’s museum include two new seasonal exhibits:

Sockefeller Center, a sock skating rink where children can “skate” while learning about balance and movement, and Snow Blocks Build Zone, where even the smallest children can build lightweight forts.

Between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m., Imagine Children’s Museum hosts a free Polar Friends Parade through the Museum. This interactive community experience leads to a sparkling indoor forest, where children can experience the joy of Indoor Snowfall – all within the warm Museum!

The Museum is festively decorated and boasts pockets of holiday activities throughout the Winter Wonderland Festival. Children can write heartfelt Letters to Santa, craft their own holiday creations to take home in Santa’s Helper Toy Shop, or join the Elf Training Academy, where they’ll have a blast mastering important skills.

Don’t miss out on the holiday magic – visit the Winter Wonderland Festival at Imagine Children’s Museum to make unforgettable memories this season!
