Begin the journey with your official elf hat and step into our festive holiday workshop! Operation Elf is an interactive event designed for creative minds and holiday helpers. This year, your child isn't just visiting the holidays—they are helping build them!
Through a series of hands-on museum stations, young "Elves-in-Training" will spend the day making special gifts for family and friends, with plenty of time for wintery play and festive fun. Take a break from your elf duties and enjoy an award-winning marionette show featuring handcrafted puppets, along with live music provided by the Lone Star Strummers.
The best part? End your day with a special visit from Santa! 🎅
Little elves-in-training will receive an official elf hat and elf badge before entering our festive holiday workshop!
