12 Nights of Santa at EarlyWorks Children's Museum

EarlyWorks Children's Museum in downtown Huntsville hosts 12 Nights of Santa from Saturday, December 12, through Wednesday, December 23. The museum lists start times of 3 p.m. on weekends and during the week of Christmas, and 5 p.m. on other weekdays.

Families start at the North Pole Post Office to write a letter to Santa, then get their own visit and photo time with him. The museum also lists gingerbread cookie decorating, ornament making and wintry science in its Tinker Lab, and time in the snow outside, weather permitting.

Admission is $15, or $13 for members, and children under one get in free, per EarlyWorks. Buy tickets on the 12 Nights of Santa page.
