On December 31, 2025, dress your festive best and join us for the last PLAY date of 2025. Come count down to 2026 at Wonder Works!

Our family friendly New Year’s celebration will include a balloon drop, full access to the museum, a new year’s art project, encounters with costumed characters, 2026 swag to take home and a fun photo booth to capture the special day as a family, all long before bed time!

To provide family flexibility with nap times + visiting family + holidays, we will count down to the new year and the balloon drop twice at 11 am and at 1 pm.

Tickets will be $15 for members and $30 for non-members. Discounted $6 tickets are also available for anyone eligible for Museums for All. Everyone attending Noon Year’s Eve will need a ticket, both adults and children.

Our special events tickets are non-transferrable. To cancel tickets, guests need to call or email the museum. All event tickets must be purchased directly through Wonder Works Children’s Museum.
