Holiday Open House

Free admission, craft activities, live music, and special glassmaking experiences kick off the holiday season. Have Breakfast or Lunch with Santa, make an ornament at The Studio, and have your picture taken with Santa in front of the giant ornament tree! Don’t miss the Annual Glass Sale at The Studio! One-of-a-kind handmade glass objects make unique gifts. This year's sale is in The Houghton Park Café.  The Café is accessible from the parking lot between the main museum facility and The Studio. On Saturday, stay for “Sparkle,” a Corning holiday tradition featuring carriage rides, Santa in his crystal house and more, in Corning’s historic downtown Gaffer District. 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Admission is free. Breakfast (8:30 a.m.) or Lunch (12:00 p.m.) with Santa is $5 per person. Studio projects cost $10 each for blown ornaments and flowers, and $5 for icicles, fused suncatchers, and sandblasted drinking glasses (age restrictions apply). Reservations are required only for Breakfast and Lunch with Santa. Studio projects are booked on a first-come, first-served basis (we recommend arriving early).
