Exploration Place Extended Holiday Hours 2024

Sharing is caring!

Exploration Place is staying open until 8 pm from Thursday, December 19 through  January 4, 2025 (with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). It’s a fantastic option for entertaining out-of-town family or keeping the kids engaged during their winter break from school.

The wonderful aspect is that you can immerse yourself in a winter wonderland brimming with activities suitable for all ages, all within the cozy confines of indoors, eliminating the reliance on weather conditions. It allows you to stay warm while creating cherished holiday memories indoors. This is a budget-friendly activity, particularly for members, as it comes at no cost for them. If you haven’t become a member of Exploration Place yet, it’s worth considering obtaining or gifting memberships this year. With numerous activities and events offered at a nominal price, it ensures year-round enjoyment for all.

Exploration Store

The Explore Store is set to welcome visitors for some eleventh-hour holiday shopping. If you haven’t had the chance to explore it yet, you’ll discover a treasure trove of cool gifts. Personally, I found some fantastic presents for my nephew during my visit last week. However, the ultimate gift you can consider is a membership. This thoughtful gesture extends the joy throughout the entire year, allowing recipients to craft countless memories through exciting events and constantly evolving exhibits. It’s a gift that brings joy not just to the younger generation but also provides adults with the opportunity to embrace and explore new realms of knowledge.

Honestly, it’s a gift with lasting impact and continuous enjoyment. Get your membership HERE
