The museum opens only from 1 to 4 pm for this session, and families move through it at their own pace, taking breaks as needed. Children can make handmade gifts at the Holly Jolly Workshop, wrap them at the Wrap It Up station, write a card in the Elf Express Mailroom and explore wintery sensory activities. Meeting Santa is unhurried and pressure-free: a wave, a high-five or watching from a distance all count, with no expectation to sit on his lap or pose for photos. Tickets are booked online. ## Similar picks in Houston - [Santa & S'mores — The Woodlands](https://grassyknees.com/houston/activities/santa-and-s-mores-the-woodlands--listing-7105f94fb11a451546f5d15f) — Sat, Dec 5 · 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM · The Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park (Outdoor Campus), The Woodlands · All ages · From $20 · checked Oct 16.
