Glazer Children's Museum Gingerbread Village

Families are invited to design and build gingerbread-inspired houses and structures using recycled and everyday materials. Add your creation to our growing village or take it home—either way, you’re helping bring this festive landscape to life. As the weeks go on, Gingerbread Village grows alongside our community, shaped by the imagination of every visitor.

This beloved holiday experience is included with Museum admission and offers special seasonal programming, storytimes, and festive guest appearances throughout November and December.

Enjoy festive holiday fun during November & December with visits from these special guests and our annual Downtown Countdown event!
