Those of us who can't stay awake until midnight can join the Missouri History Museum for a New Year's Eve countdown with two balloon drops! Visitors will enjoy making celebratory crafts, a super-sized story time where you'll learn about food traditions like Hoppin' John, the 12 grapes and more, followed by two giant balloon drops at 11 a.m. and noon.
The Noon Year's Eve Celebration at the Missouri History Museum is free and part of the Winter Getaway at the museum. Reservations are not required.
December 31, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
