2025 Wintertide at Mystic Seaport Museum

Celebrate the great outdoors in New England with three days of winter whimsy and frosty festivities at Mystic Seaport Museum! Bundle up to meet reindeer and winter working dogs! Check out ice sculpture demonstrations and family activities including games, crafts, a snowman bounce house, and kid-friendly live music. Need to warm up somewhere snug and toasty? Enjoy a show in the Treworgy Planetarium, grab a hot cocoa or adult beverage from Schaefer's Spouter Tavern, or check out our many striking exhibitions. Whether you're chilling on the waterfront, or getting cozy next to a crackling fire, visitors of all ages will find so many ways to make memories at the Museum during Wintertide. This experience takes place at the north end of the Museum while the south end is closed for the season; please enter at the Thompson Exhibition Building.
