Celebrate an old-fashioned holiday at Old Cowtown Museum’s Victorian Christmas event this season in Wichita. Stroll along lamp-lit, carol-filled streets, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa, and check out the Victorian dancers in the evenings on two weekends in December.
Victorian Christmas has become a family tradition for many in the Wichita area. This year, it will be held on December 5 & 6, and then again on December 12 & 13, 2025. Each evening’s activities will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. When the weather outside is frightful, Cowtown’s lamp-lit, carol-filled streets will warm you up!
They will also be hosting a Breakfast with Santa on the first Saturday morning! Create lasting family memories at Cowtown’s unique Breakfast with Santa! Santa will come in and mingle with the kids while they enjoy a delicious breakfast in the Visitor’s Center.This is a perfect holiday tradition for kids in Wichita. Breakfast, photos with Santa, and activities will be included with your ticket. This is one of the many great options to See Santa in Wichita.
This old-fashioned Christmas celebration has plenty of activities for all ages as they interact with costumed interpreters and are immersed in holiday traditions and customs that originated in the Victorian era.
A few of the fun Activities Include:
- Victorian dancers and carol-filled streets.

If you haven’t been before, you might be surprised to see the festively decorated streets filled with warm-hearted and good-natured merry-makers. It really is an old-fashioned holiday experience, and among my favorite experiences in Wichita so far!

I don’t if you update this list or not, but cow town’s Victorian Christmas cost $15 not $10 this year. And there was no discount for underage children. Pretty pricey ?????
Thank for letting us know and agree that is pricey and a big jump from last year.
Why would you get a discount? Illuminations is at Botanica not Cowtown.
Last year they had a deal that if you save your receipt from Victorian Christmas, you would get a discount to Illuminations. I’m still waiting to hear back about whether they’ll offer the same discount this year.
Why can’t you save your receipt from Illuminations and get a discount at Cowtown?
