LEGENDARY SANTA at the CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
The Children’s Museum is kicking off the holiday season with the highly anticipated arrival of the treasured Richmond tradition of Legendary Santa! Legendary Santa, the beautiful Snow Queen, and the playful elf will once again delight generations of fans beginning the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve. Regular ticketed visits this year will assist with limited time in line as well as safety precautions that are necessary due to the pandemic. Each visit will include an emailed photo, with additional photo package purchases available. Please arrive at Children’s Museum Downtown 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Tickets are $30 for up to 6 family members and must be purchased in advance. For complete details, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. Regular visits do not include museum admission.
