Glazer Children's Museum Downtown Countdown

Ring in the New Year at the Glazer Children’s Museum with countdowns, Family Play Projects, and celebrations throughout the day on New Year’s Eve. Celebrate with countries around the world with balloon drops on the hour! You can celebrate as a family by day and still have time for evening festivities. Downtown Countdown is included with museum admission. Please note: GCM closes at 3pm on New Year’s Eve.

Glazer Children's Museum is a place where children and their parents can learn through play and shared discovery. Created specifically for children under 12, our Museum offers 170 'interactivities' in multiple themed areas for families to explore, connect while having fun along the way. During a GCM visit, children try on many identities to help explore the world around them. Whether they help a pet patient in the Vet Clinic or leap to stardom in our Twinkle Stars Theater, imaginative play is critical to our experience.
