NUTCRACKER HUNTS:
DAILY AT THE NUTCRACKER MUSEUM(Our version of the Scavenger Hunt). Nutcracker hunts have been designed for all ages from 3 to 103. Preschooler will have line drawings of Mickey Mouse, a man with a long nose, a clown, or maybe an elephant. Then with each year the lists get harder and harder as older students look for a monkey with a top hat and Benjamin Franklin with his kite while adults have their own special hunts. Each list will take the hunter to different parts of the museum, and by doing the hunt, they actually see much more of the museum collection. This activity is extremely popular, bringing families back year after year. More Details

The history of the nutcrackers will be shown on video and visitors can tour the museum free of charge.
