## About

Throughout December, the Children's Museum of Atlanta in Downtown transforms its hands-on learning galleries into a cozy, snow-dusted carnival during its annual 'Snow Days' winter celebration. The centerpiece attraction is 'Sockefeller Plaza,' an indoor synthetic 'sock-skating' rink where toddlers and young kids can kick off their shoes and glide across the slick rink surface in their fuzzy socks without cold temperatures, ice slips, or heavy skate blades.

Children can explore winter STEM at The Science Bar, where educators guide hands-on experiments making instant faux polymer snow, investigate blubber and animal hibernation adaptations, build gingerbread structures with tactile materials, and participate in lively snowball target tosses. Daily interactive storytimes and music sessions highlight winter holidays and traditions from across the globe, including Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. On New Year's Eve (Dec 31), the museum hosts its famous 'Bubble Bash' with dance parties, countdowns, and balloon/bubble wrap drops.
