Say goodbye to the winter blues—at least for one day—and soak up the sun at our Indoor Beach Party on Saturday, Jan. 24. It’s summer in January!
Get your groove on at a dance party with a live DJ. Build a sandcastle out of foam blocks and decorate your own take-home sunglasses. And enter to win lots of great prizes. This event and activities are included in regular museum admission.
Enter-to-Win: Buy your museum tickets online in advance and you’ll be entered to win one of many great prizes including an Ultimate Beach Party gift basket, a year-long family membership and museum ticket packs! Museum members in attendance that day are also automatically entered to win.
Giveaway winners will be selected after the event and contacted via email on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026. Not required to be present to win.
