"The Polar Express" Read-Aloud Pajama Night
at Brandywine River Museum of Art
Ages not listed by organizer
$12 ticket at Brandywine River Museum of Art (general admission there is $20 adult / $8 kid; check whether the ticket includes it)
storytime
Our take: Best for 4–8
It's a 6:30 PM school-night start, so come in pajamas ready for bed in the car, and buy tickets ahead because none are sold at the door.
Families will enjoy a festive evening at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, beginning with a visit to the Brandywine Railroad and holiday tree display. Children will wear pajamas and listen to a read-aloud of The Polar Express, followed by hot chocolate and cookies from 7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is designed for a relaxed, seasonal experience with a story-centered focus.
