Behringer-Crawford Museum Holly Jolly Days & Polar Express Reading

About this adventure

Set inside the Behringer-Crawford Museum in Covington’s Devou Park, Holly Jolly Days features the museum’s cherished Polar Express Pajama Reading. Children and parents are invited to wear their favorite cozy holiday pajamas for an engaging theatrical reading of Chris Van Allsburg’s award-winning holiday book *The Polar Express*. After the reading, children enjoy warm hot cocoa and festive cookies, make their own wooden train ornament in the education workshop, and receive a personal silver bell from the Conductor. Families then explore more than 250 feet of model train track, interactive LEGO holiday cities, and take photos with Santa Claus next to the vintage passenger caboose.
