Wednesday, December 31, 9–11:30am or 12:30–3pm
Join us for our special family-friendly New Year’s Eve Celebration and ring in the New Year before bedtime! Enjoy “countdowns to midnight” at 10:30am during the morning event (9–11:30am) or at 2pm during the afternoon event (12:30–3pm)—we’ll lower our glittery disco ball, confetti will fly through the air, and wish blimps made by visitors will gently fall to the ground. Visitors can make sparkly recycled-paper hats throughout the event and enjoy a fun New Year backdrop! CMNH’s New Year’s Eve Celebration is a special ticketed event with prices different from our regular museum admission. Reservations and prepayment required. The Museum closes early at 3pm on New Years Eve and will be closed on New Year’s Day.
