Parents, children and extended families can ring in 2025 together while the sun is shining. We "countdown to midnight" at 10:30am during the morning play session (9-11:30am), and 2pm during the afternoon play session (12:30-3pm) that will make you feel like you're in Times Square. Everyone receives a noisemaker and gets to create their own sparkly party hat and enjoy a New Year photo booth! As "midnight" draws closer, guests gather in the center of the Children's Museum of New Hampshire beneath a glitter ball hung 30 feet up. We count backwards from 20 as the ball begins its descent, then New Year wishes are launched from our Build-It-Fly-It towers when the clock strikes 12.

Because of the popularity of this event, our New Year's Eve Celebration is now a ticketed event.
