Noon Year's Eve - Countdown to Noon Celebration

 

Experience the Magic of a Morning New Year's Celebration!
Kick off the New Year with a joyful morning celebration at the Long Island Explorium. There is no need to stay up until midnight when you can ring in the New Year early at our Noon Year’s Eve Countdown. This special event invites children in Pre K through Fifth Grade and their parent or guardian to enjoy a creative, hands on, and unforgettable New Year’s experience.

What to Expect:

  • Party Poppers and Noisemakers
    Children will design and build their own party poppers and noisemakers using colorful materials. This hands on activity encourages imagination and creativity. When the clock strikes noon, everyone can celebrate with an exciting pop and cheer.

  • Play Time
    After crafting, families will enjoy private access to the Explorium exhibits. The museum will be closed to the public and open only to Noon Year’s Eve participants to create a relaxed and engaging play experience.

  • Pizza and Mocktails
    Enjoy a pizza party with your child, then mix up a sparkling mocktail together. We will raise our glasses before the countdown and celebrate the New Year with energy and smiles.

Limited spots available! Pre-registration is required to secure your child's participation.
