Is the family looking for a fun activity this holiday season? Well, mark your calendars for Journey to the North Pole at the Mississippi Children’s Museum happening November 22- January 2!
Journey to the North Pole is an immersive experience in the Gertrude C. Ford Exhibition Hall where it has been transformed into a magical winter village of twinkling lights and train cars. Only a few feet from the entrance into the exhibit will also be a 45-foot slide down the center staircase of the museum called the Snowflake Slide! How cool!?
The Eudora Welty Poarch is temporarily closed, and it will reopen on November 22 as an exciting new addition to Journey to the North Pole- even more of a reason to check out the exhibit this year!
Clara Williams, Digital Media and Website Coordinator for the museum, said this event is perfect for the whole family.
“I think what’s really special about this event is that it’s suitable to children of all ages. Small children can play in the winter village, enjoy a smaller slide, and write letters to Santa, while the older children can take a ride down the Snowflake Slide, which is suitable for children over 36” tall. The Reindeer Rink is also fun for any age, which is a slick surface that kids can slide around on with their socks!”
See below for everything that’s included with a ticket for this exhibit. Also, this is the first year the museum has scheduled dates for Santa’s arrival, so see below for those dates and times.
During Journey to the North Pole, guests will explore our holiday village which includes:
