Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

Cookie Decorating Party at Exploration Place

Exploration Place cookie decorating party is a DEAL this holiday. For a flat rate, you can bring your whole family to decorate cookies and take them home for Santa, and enjoy other Holiday activities.  It’s a festive experience for everyone! The best part is that you can enjoy decorating cookies for Santa without the hassle of baking, cleaning, or shopping for supplies. Each kit includes blank cookies, icing, sprinkles, and entry into the exhibits for your family or decorating group.

Cookie Decorating at Exploration Place

Celebrate this holiday season by ditching the kitchen chaos and joining us at Exploration Place. We have attended this in the past, and it’s on our list to attend again this year.

Each kit includes 8 blank cookies, 3 icing bags, sprinkles, and entry into the exhibits for your family or decorating group.

Why is this such a DEAL? 

  • For $35, you get to decorate cookies and spend time with family, and explore Exploration Place.
    • General admission ranges from $20 15 per person, so decorating cookies and spending time with family at Exploration Place is a DEAL.
    • Entry is sold per kit, not per person. You can purchase as many kits as your group needs. Kits are available for pickup and take-home decorating if you prefer. Kits must be picked up during the event window time. Any kits left at 7 pm will be forfeited, and a refund will not be available. If you can’t be here from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm to pick up your kit, please call or email to arrange alternate plans. 316-660-0605 or discover@exploration.org.
    • Boxes to take your cookies home in will be provided.
  • Hot cocoa will be provided.
  • After you finish decorating your cookies, you are welcome to stay and visit the exhibits!
