CANADIAN BUSHPLANE HERITAGE CENTRE
*************************
As December rolls in, the Bushplane Museum is gearing up to show our appreciation to the community with a lineup of free activities for families and seniors, and specially-priced holiday events.
Here’s what’s happening
Every Wednesday morning, our 'Tiny Pilots' program takes off, where children get hands-on with crafts and activities from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. It’s a chance for the little ones to delve into creative projects. During the month of December, this program is free.
Sundays are for our 'Sky Explorers', from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Kids from 5 to 12-years-old can participate in various activities that are both fun and educational, designed to ignite their curiosities about the world around them—free for the entire month of December.
For our over 55-years-old crowd, 'Walk With Us' offers a warm and sheltered stroll through our exhibits on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. It’s an opportunity to learn, socialize, and stay active during the chilly season. Our festive activities also include holiday baking classes starting Dec. 4 and an ornament painting class on Dec. 13, where our over 55-years-old visitors can craft their own holiday decorations for free. Spaces are limited, so pre-register online to ensure you don’t miss out.
Grinch-mas Shop and Sip
A perfect evening for adults to enjoy a specialty Grinch drink, take a photo with the Grinch, and watch Jim Carrey bring the character to life on screen at 6 p.m. Enjoy a beverage while you shop and watch out for Grinch-y surprises! Entry is free, and movie tickets are just $5. The Grinch-mas Shop and Sip happens Dec. 12 from 5 to 8 p.m., during the downtown association’s Moonlight Magic event.
Santa’s Holiday Fun Day
Step into the holiday spirit at the Bushplane Museum's Holiday Fun Day! Join us on Dec. 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For just $5, you can watch your favourite holiday films—bring your pillows or cushions for a cozy floor setup or sit in our comfy seats. Enjoy complimentary hot chocolate, then head over to the Children’s Centre for some festive craft fun! Be sure to explore Entomica to see what critters are dressed in tiny Santa hats. Plus, don't miss your chance to take a memorable photo with Santa himself – no charge. It's a day of festive fun you won't want to miss!
Capture the Fun
Be sure to participate in our photo competition for a chance to win exciting prizes for the best snapshots with Santa or the Grinch.
The Bushplane Museum is excited to give back to the community that has supported us throughout the year. We invite everyone to join us in December for a month filled with learning, fun, and holiday cheer.
