Corning Museum Holiday Open House

The Corning Museum of Glass in nearby Corning New York is always a great place to visit but during the holidays, the colors turn even more spectacular with their Holiday Open House December 5th and 6th museum wide.  You could even make a family day out of it and visit holiday activities in Corning’s historic downtown Gaffer District.

But the big spotlight is on the amazing Corning Museum this weekend as they are offering FREE admission.  When you get there, you will enjoy all kinds of craft activities, live music, and special glassmaking experiences to kick off the holiday season.

Reservations are required to have breakfast or lunch with Santa, which includes a picture taking experience with the jolly guy in red.  Breakfast is served at 8:30am and lunch at Noon in the Museum's Auditorium.  For $6 a person, Santa will be there and so will some great entertainment. This is known to sell out rather quickly.

Local caroling groups and bands of all ages will provide live holiday music throughout the Museum. I like the sound of this:  "decorate (and eat!) a holiday cookie, and enjoy holiday crafts and a general atmosphere of holiday cheer, all weekend long." There will also be an opportunity to make an ornament in The Studio.

If you're interested in making your gifts this year, there will be discounted holiday glassmaking experiences this weekend only from 9am-5pm.  Glass flowers and ornaments are just some of the gifts you can create at substantial savings.

A great trip on a tank the whole family will remember!
