## About

An evening New Year's celebration for the whole family at the Minnesota Children's Museum in downtown St. Paul, held the day before New Year's Eve so young children can celebrate at an early hour. The ticket covers museum admission plus three hours of party activities spread through the museum: music, dancing, party favors, and crafts and activities on the exhibit floors. The museum's own pages give the date and hours; ticket prices were not yet printed when checked, and the museum offers an email sign-up for event information.
