Visit with Santa
Special Event at Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation™
- November 23 - December 24, 2018
- Location: Heroes of the Sky
Take your little ones on an expedition to the North Pole to visit with Santa. As they explore the early pioneers of aviation in our Heroes of the Sky exhibition, they’ll land at the most ideal location for a photo op with the greatest Toy Maker of all time! Enjoy taking your own photo or purchase a professional shot just in time for the Holidays!
Helpful Tips When Visiting Santa
- Santa is here 10am-4pm Monday-Friday, 9:30am-5pm Saturday and Sunday.
- Weekday afternoons generally are the best times to visit Santa, when he may have more time to spend with each child.
- Santa takes a break to feed his reindeer each afternoon. The time varies because Santa sees everyone in line before he leaves, so the line closes for a time. After his departure, the line reopens for guests wishing to wait for his return. Please check with Santa’s Greeter to confirm his return time.
- Saturday and Sunday afternoons are our busiest times, so plan ahead. On these busy weekends, we often need to close the line as early as 3 pm to accommodate the long line of guests by 5 pm when the museum closes.
