New Year's revelers of all ages (even those with a bedtime!) are invited to ring in the new year a little bit early with a special Noontime New Year's Eve celebration at The Magic House on December 31.
Visitors will participate in a variety of traditional New Year's Eve festivities, including a countdown to noon with the dropping of a sparkly New Year's Eve ball.
Any New Year's Eve party wouldn't be complete without a dance floor and dancing tunes! Kids can dance the day away, then pose in a 2026-themed photo booth filled with fun props, and accessories.
Noontime New Year's Eve activities are free with admission and no reservations are required.
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Magic House in Kirkwood.

It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun, where storybook characters come alive! Kids are invited to dress in their most "boo-tiful" Halloween costumes and have a ghoulishly good time going on a spook-tacular scavenger hunt throughout The Magic House to find trick-or-treat locations and seeing their favorite storybook characters.
Get into the Halloween spirit with some spooky fun and celebrate with the animals at Grant's Farm. Enjoy Halloween tram rides featuring Halloween lights, spooky scenes, live actors, scare zones, a Halloween-themed show, monster mash party and more. Costumes are encouraged.
Let Miss Kelly's give you the night off while your child takes part in many different fun activities, including games, obstacles and challenges!
