Kohl Children's Museum's Kohlights is an interactive indoor/outdoor holiday light experience designed for young children, running on select evenings from November 27 to December 20, 2026. Kids ride the Twinkle Train through a trail of lights in Habitat Park, dance among colored lights, decorate a dreidel to take home on Dreidel Game Night, and meet Elsa and Anna (5–6:30 p.m.); Santa meet-and-greets and photo ops are on Fridays only. Tickets include all the museum's indoor exhibits, so families can warm up between light activities. Early admission runs 4:30–7 p.m. and regular admission 5:30–7 p.m. Tickets go on sale in October and are required for everyone over 12 months; members receive discounts. It runs regardless of weather, so bundle up.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Exact operating dates within the range ('select dates') and Kohlights ticket prices not printed in the fetched text; regular museum admission ($20 child/adult) is not the Kohlights price. Kohl's New Years Eve Bash (noon-year confetti drop) is listed on the events page without a date or detail page.
