What to Expect
Start at the WishZING Station where you and your kids can write down hopes for 2026 and add them to a community mood board—a collaborative art piece that grows throughout the day. Head over to the Sound of Joy station to experiment with a Tonoscope, a device that turns sound waves into visual patterns. Your kids can test different instruments and see how music creates shapes, combining art and science through sound.
The Fizzy Fun and Oobleck stations deliver messy, hands-on STEAM exploration with bubbly experiments and that classic non-Newtonian fluid that’s somehow both liquid and solid. The day wraps up at 3pm with a countdown celebration where everyone can dance, cheer, and officially welcome 2026 together—then head home for dinner and an early bedtime instead of battling the midnight rush.
This event works well for families with younger kids who can’t stay up until midnight but still want to mark the occasion with something special. Bring your family and spend the last day of 2025 getting curious about what’s next.
