Modesto, CA — Get ready to step into a world of holiday magic! The Modesto Children’s Museum (MoChiMu) is excited to host its second annual Winter Bash Family Party on Friday, December 12th, from 6:00–8:30pm. This special, after-hours celebration invites families to enjoy a night of discovery, creativity, and seasonal fun.

For one night only, MoChiMu transforms into a festive wonderland filled with holiday crafts, cocoa, cookies, carols, and surprise activities that promise to delight children and adults alike. Guests will also have full access to all museum exhibits, encouraging families to explore, play, and create lasting memories together.

Guests are encouraged to dress in their classy Christmas Carol best or their most festive holiday sweaters—sparkly, ugly, or otherwise! The event is designed to be a playful, imagination-filled evening that captures the joy of the season.

Admission & Membership Perks

  • General Admission: $20 per person
  • Members: $5 per person
  • SNAP/EBT discounts available

MoChiMu also encourages families to consider museum membership, which offers Winter Bash tickets at a discounted rate along with year-round benefits.

Following the success of MoChiMu’s sold-out MoChiBoo Bash Family Party, the Winter Bash Family Party is shaping up to become a new holiday tradition for Modesto families. The museum continues its mission to provide safe, imaginative, and community-focused programs that engage children and families throughout the year.

Tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Families are encouraged to reserve their spot early by visiting www.modestochildrensmuseum.org/familybash.
