Over winter break, Children's Museum Houston becomes a snowy wonderland for Polar Palooza, its annual holiday-season festival running from Saturday, December 19, 2026 through Monday, January 4, 2027, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The museum describes a mix of multicultural activities and festive happenings spread around the building, with workshops, performances, storytimes and character appearances among the planned programming; the detailed day-by-day schedule had not yet been published when this was checked. The museum normally closes on Mondays but advertises extra Monday openings during the festival, and it is closed on Christmas Day. Entry is with general admission, which applies to every visitor, adult or child. Good for toddlers through early elementary children looking for an indoor outing during the school holidays.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Page header says Polar Palooza 2026, Dec 19, 2026 – Jan 4, 2027, but the opening-days text ('OPEN Mondays, Dec. 22, 29 and Jan. 5'; 'New Year's Day ... Free Family Night Thursday') matches the 2025–26 calendar (in 2026 Dec 22 is a Tuesday and Jan 1, 2027 is a Friday). Confirm the extra opening days. 'More details coming soon' — no activity schedule yet.
