Countdown to NOON and the NEW Millennium!

Traverse City Family Things To Do

It’s back, it’s back! The Great Lakes Children’s Museum will be offering a special New Year’s Eve celebration for children on December 31st- our most exciting and popular event!

Have little ones that don’t want to miss out on the FUN of New Year’s Eve- but just can’t wait until midnight?

Well it’s midnight somewhere in the world- so we say, let’s watch the ball drop at an hour when everyone is still awake! New Year’s Eve activities begin in the Great Lakes Room at 10:00 am, and children will begin decorating the ball, making noisemakers and hats, and beginning a special time capsule activity! Children will record the day through various measures and then create a time capsule to put everything in. They can take their time capsule home and open it next year- or in 10 years!
