About this adventure

Before Woodstock's Lighting of the Square, the city turns the upper floor of the Old Courthouse Center into Whoville, where children can meet the Grinch and Cindy Lou Who. The city calls it a silly and slightly sneaky experience and reminds families to bring a camera for pictures with the two characters. The meet-and-greet runs for two and a half hours in the late afternoon, so families can stop in before Santa's arrival and the 7 p.m. tree-lighting ceremony in the Park-in-the-Square. It is free; drinks are sold separately by Events at Ethereal. No registration is listed.
