Iowa Museum Hosting A Polar Express Pajama Party For Kids

The Quad City Holiday Tradition is back at the Putnam Museum. The Polar Express Pajama Party.

Polar Express Pajama Party

The Putnam Museum and Science Center in Davenport, Iowa, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of its Polar Express Pajama Party. This year, December 14-17, children and their families are once again invited to enjoy the magic of Christmas at this four-day event, promising an abundance of holiday fun.

Decked in their most loved PJs, children can engage in numerous festive activities while watching the holiday classic, The Polar Express 3D, on the Museum's gigantic screen. Festivities include face painting, a scrumptious hot chocolate bar, a make-and-take sleigh bell station, and an adventurous lights-out tour through the museum.
