All the fun and festivities of a winter carnival is rolled into one exciting event. Carnival games like ring toss, ice fishing, snowball toss, and our custom-made bubble pool keeps kids having loads of fun. Included in this event is a light supper buffet and carnival treats like fresh, buttery popcorn and fluffy cotton candy. Each child has an opportunity to have their face painted and receive a balloon animal too! Visit the Festival displays and explore the Museum after the event - all included!

During Your Visit At times, the parking lot and lobby of the Western Development Museum are extremely busy. We recommend waiting in your vehicle during these busy times until the line up decreases. Please follow the signage and/or direction of our greeters regarding the appropriate entrance, exit & line up for pre-paid admission, onsite admission (debit & credit only; cashless), special events and cafe visits.
We ask that you allow for a little extra time to get through the lobby to the displays, special events or cafe. Please be respectful and kind to fellow visitors, guests, volunteers and Western Development Museum staff. During your visit:
Please do not touch Festival displays, decorations or Museum artifacts
Please respect all stanchions, ropes and directional signage. We know the displays are irresistible especially to our youngest visitors, but for their safety please keep everyone from going behind any ropes, stanchions or barriers.
No food or drink is allowed or may be consumed in the Museum galleries. Gingerbread cookies are for sale, but should be taken home to be enjoyed (you can nibble on one in the lobby if you can't make it to your vehicle!)
