Celebrate an old-fashioned holiday at Old Cowtown Museum’s Victorian Christmas event this season in Wichita. Stroll on lamp-lit, carol-filled streets, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa, and take a peek inside Santa’s workshop on December 7, 8, 14 or 15.
Victorian Christmas has become a family tradition for many in the Wichita area. 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:
- Santa’s Workshop (aka Carpenter’s Shop)
- Children’s crafts and activities
- Carolers strolling the street
- Cookies, cocoa and popcorn stringing
- Horse-drawn wagon rides
- Holiday decor/gifts for sale and more!
Just a reminder, if you got the membership special we told you about back in April (or if you became a member at any other time this year), admission to Cowtown’s Victorian Christmas is FREE for you!
Victorian Christmas activities will be held in the evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is FREE for members, and just $9 for adults.
Also see the Breakfast with Santa events that will be held at Cowtown Saturday mornings the same weekends!

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?
