Celebrate the great outdoors in New England with three days of winter whimsy and frosty festivities at Mystic Seaport Museum! Bundle up to meet reindeer, winter working dogs, and horses! Check out ice sculpture demonstrations and family activities including games, crafts, a snowman bounce house, and kid-friendly live improv theater. Need to warm up somewhere snug and toasty? Check out the Model Train Show in the Masin Conference Room, enjoy a show at the Treworgy Planetarium, explore our striking exhibitions, or indulge in a hot cocoa or an adult drink at Schaefer's Spouter Tavern. New this year! Awaken your senses with interactive inflatable art (#monoliths by Pneuhaus) and music in the Collins Gallery. Whether you're chilling on the waterfront, or getting cozy next to a crackling fire, visitors of all ages will find so many ways to make memories at the Museum during Wintertide.

Please note that the bounce house, lawn games, and fire pits for Sunday are cancelled due to the forecasted rain, but many activities are under a tent or inside-so don't let the weather get you down! Tickets purchased online for Wintertide are valid for all three days of the event.?
