About this adventure
Visit one of the finest art museums in North America for an inspiring, budget-friendly holiday tradition. Each December, Mia decorates its 30 historic architectural period rooms—spanning English Tudor halls, French salons, and 18th-century American parlors—in authentic festive greenery, holiday feast settings, and candlelight. On dedicated Family Days, kids can make their own holiday ornaments, follow self-guided scavenger hunts through the galleries, and listen to storytelling. Admission to Mia's permanent collection is completely free year-round, with stroller rentals and coat checks available at the lobby.
