Holidays Around the World

Dec. 17, 2022

Ready to celebrate holiday traditions from our corner of Michigan to the other side of the globe? Take the kiddos to the Great Lakes Children’s Museum Thursday, Dec. 22, and Friday, Dec. 23, for the Holiday Happenings Celebrations. This interactive experience is free with museum admission ($8 for children and adults, free for members) and helps littles learn about Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hanukkah, and more. Meanwhile, the rest of the museum’s Great Lakes-focused activities and exhibits will be open and ready for exploration. Reservations are recommended—though walk-ins are admitted if capacity allows—and can be made by going to greatlakeskids.org. The Holiday Happenings Celebrations will be held during all three sessions on Thursday and Friday: 9:30-11:30am, 12-2pm, and 2:30-4:30pm. (The museum is closed for cleaning in the breaks in between.) Find the Great Lakes Children’s Museum at 13240 S. West Bay Shore Drive in Traverse City.
