Explore & More announces museum hours and events during Holiday Break

Explore & More will be open during the upcoming Holiday Break and is the perfect place to spend a day while the kids are off from school.

In fact, the museum was recently voted KidsOutAndAbout.com’s #1 place to bring kids in Western New York and was named Buffalo Spree Magazine’s Best Place for Family Fun in Winter for 2024.

Here are some upcoming events at the museum this month that families aren’t going to want to miss:

• Sunday, December 22: A Visit from Santa (10am-12pm)
• Sunday, December 29: Jr. Tailgate Day (10am-2pm)
• Tuesday, December 31: Countdown to 2025 presented by Independent Health Foundation (10am-4pm with special activities and New Year’s Eve countdowns at both 12pm and 3pm)
• Every Saturday and Sunday in December: The Magic of Rob and Carol Allen presented by Milk For Health (11am-1pm)

While the kids are off from school, we’ll be hosting a Winter Celebration each day! Make a wreath, take part in a holiday light circuit activity, and get ready for New Year’s Eve by creating a music maker and doing a fireworks craft.
