Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light

Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

Explore rich holiday traditions from around the globe while creating your own traditions with loved ones in Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light.

Destination: Holidays

This year we’re celebrating the golden age of travel with themed décor and a spotlight on our Pioneer Zephyr train and Take Flight’s 727, which have been newly reimagined. Not to mention the daily spectacle of lights and music and discovering what the holidays are like all around the world.

Photos with Santa

Make even more memories by visiting Santa in his festive photo studio inside the Holiday Store. The whole family can pose with the jolly man himself and bring home a souvenir photo. This activity requires a timed-entry ticket and is not included in Museum Entry. Capacity is limited and subject to availability. Tickets are available for purchase now.
